    Would like to hear forum thoughts on which one would be better given the current state of the game.

    Judging by streamers and forum, not too many folks are happy right now. I personally think a flash sale would help the market. Chase packs, Spotlight, and Live Diamond packs specifically.

    I think a stub sale would only hurt the market by making all those cards more expensive.

    Anybody have thought? Doubt SDS cares because they are making $$$ regardless.

    Personally, I almost never buy any packs in flash sales. I would be more inclined to buy stubs (bigger chance of me getting stubs than there is buying packs) during a stub sale and then just sit on the stubs until prices come down for the cards I want.

    They typically do both at the same time, which works pretty well. The market still dips, but not as much as it would without the stub sale.

    Flash sales are great for buying cards on discount to resell later or add to your collections. Stub sales usually makes the market even more inflated.

    I refuse to participate in the pack casino, I never buy packs even on the flash sales.

    Stubs are the way to go but you have to be patient…Wait until a stub sale & stock up when they’re 50% off….DO NOT START BUYING CARDS…Wait until the market goes back down, Usually 2-3 weeks after a sale. THAT is when you get the most bang for your buck.

    A flash sale is good temporarily. Priced drop for an hour them start to rebound.

    Flash sales are fantastic for people who have stubs to burn. I spent 1.2M on the last two flash sales and finished at 1.9M when I sold off the last of what I bought.

    @NWOStunna_PSN In the short term a stub sale would make Cards more expensive, but in the long term they would get cheaper then what they before due to less demand. Flash sales cause cards to get get cheaper short term, and more expensive long term. But I'm no expert so take it with a grain of salt.

    Not to say I told you so but…
