With a possible impending depression? Hahaha good luck.

Seems odd that everyone is pulling a Trout from free packs yet his price is still through the roof. If that were even remotely true the he would be like 30k due to supply and demand.
I've pulled 3, kept one. Sold one for 220K, sold the one this morning for 275K. One person selling two does not change the supply/demand chain. In order for that to happen, the ratio of Trouts to players would have to be just under 80%.
And what online economics degree do you have lol? First of all ratios and percentages are two completely different things. Try some Google definition searches.
MBA, University of Chicago, class of 2004. I can send a copy of my Vita and diploma if you'd like
As for google, go ahead and learn about concentration ratios and reserve ratios, then get back to me. I used the correct term.
Man that’s awesome. I’ve been looking into applying to their weekend program (Booth and Kellogg). I bet that MBA has been really impactful in your career.

I haven't pulled Trout ever in this game. Sure as hell not going to put in money trying. None of my stimulus money is going toward this game.
I've only played 18 and 20, but I opened over 10K recorded and around 450 non recorded packs on 18 and didnt pull him once. This year no luck either.
Ive pulled Trout twice, both last year.
Granted it was at the end of the year after I bought 1000 headliners, so it was pretty much useless, but still lol.Yeah I pulled him at the end of the year last year as well. I think I pulled Scherzer like 5 times last year 4 of them at the end of the year. I was still able to make a good amout of stubs off of them.

I'm honestly shocked that people are spending their stimulus on stubs. I get that it's now your money, do what you will, but stubs? Digital currency that's only valuable for 8 months? Put it towards a car payment, credit card, savings account, something else haha

ZING!!!!!!!!
Figures U Chicago is
And good use of Google for that “zing” to cover up your complete misuse of ratio and percentages.
Oh yeah and the fact that you “claim” to have pulled Trout 3x this year. Might want to do some research into pack odds before you make up stories. Why do t you screen shot it next time as you seem to get him every few packs.You can be jealous, envious, skeptical, pig headed, and snotty. Sadly for you, none of that changes my personal experiences both in education and in this game. Good luck, you'll have better fortunes in the future with a better attitude!

Things could get dicey. Unless you have money in the bank to last a month or two, you should really get your priorities in order
I am lucky enough to still be working, and still not spending the stimulus check on stubs. Family and responsibilities come first

I too am essential. Even get the opportunity for OT to cover my wife's part time work that she's no longer working.

My part time was driving UBER cause my wife is not working. I have decided to not drive for UBER during this time. The stimulus check is going to help us out a lot. People should really think what is important and be smart how they use that money.

LOL at the guys in here saying they pulled multiple and didn't spend any money.
Sure ya did.
Truth be told, I've pulled 3 and haven't spent a dime on the game aside from initial purchase. Plenty of guys here are witnesses too.
I haven't pulled him this year but I got him at least 3 times last year. It is possible.

I have seen Trout pop up at End game rewards in 17,18,19 and 20 and never got him. I always work the market or quick sell cards to get Him. I usually have collections done by end of July. This year seems to be a little faster. I mostly just need the LS diamond. The stubs I earn I keep buying the HL packs. I think I should stop that. If I would have saved the stubs and not bought those packs I could have had Trout already off of the Market.

I'm gonna buy stock and turn 1200 into 120,000 then quit my job and live off the dividends. Why you ask because I give a GD about my future. Let me know how good Mantle is 10 years from now. If this is true these companies got you by the short and curlys. Ill pray for you
Lmao, 120,000 is nowhere near enough to live off the dividends.

I'm in the group of people who aren't working because of the pandemic. It's actually kind of sickening to see money used to help people cope with the situation being used on stubs to buy virtual cards that won't be good anymore after you buy next year's version. Crazy. Needless to say, I haven't spent anything other than my initial $70 investment and won't be using any of my stimulus on this game.
That said, I am 18 diamonds (of course, the expensive ones) away from Mantle. I've had decent pack luck this year, pulling 7 LS diamonds and getting that Rollins early from a BIAHB pack. I sold all of them right away to maximize stubs and later bought some of them back when I was set to finish the team collection. Except it looks like I'm going to lose money on Cole. Sold him for 100K and never imagined he'd stay this high.
I honestly hope they don't have a stub sale, at least not for a while. Also, it would look really sleazy if they did a stub sale right as people are getting stimulus checks.

Same boat here. Being put on leave means I need it for priorities not stubs for digital cards.

Unless you're like me and don't get a stimulus check because you're 17. It's ridiculously stupid that a kindergarten student gets more money than high school seniors right now. Either way, there are ways to work up stubs to buy trout. It's just all about patience. I'm at 125K without spending a dime.

No you’re not.
1,200 to some people is a lot different than 1,200 to other people.
Some people spend that in a bar in a month. Some people make that in a day. If someone plays a game [censored] near all year and wants to buy something that adds to their enjoyment no need to hate on them for it.
It just sounds like jealousy. Who cares what other people do with their money? I know I don’t.
If you're getting a stimulus check $1200 is a lot to you unless you're dealing drugs or something for income that you're not reporting to the government

Absolutely none. I like the game and play it a ton, but I can’t imagine even spending an extra $50 after the initial $100.
Just seems like a complete and utter waste to me.
You are one of the very few with a functioning brain.

Must be nice to have no responsibilities in your life

I mean people can their money how they like. Don't know anybody's situation so i really dont care. Just wish people would hold off until they they try to fix the things wrong with the game. I jist don't think it gives them enough incentive to fix the game, when they look and see how much profit they are making.
