When do you normally have the LS collection completed by?
-
@LHUBison58_XBL Sure, but I don’t remember the high live series diamonds ever having a cap before last year.
-
I can’t honestly recall. And there isn’t a lot of information I can find on my transactions without redownloading 24. This past year Ohtani was capped early and then they removed it and he shot up to 800k+. Luckily I had pulled judge early and bought ohtani. This year I plan on flipping my way to two Ohtanis and holding one for the RU1 inflation. But there are too many unknowns at this point to be certain.
-
@lhubison58_xbl I’m gonna try this method for 26 and see how I do. It will take patience on my part as I enjoy “finishing” LS teams and completing Collections.
-
@capardo_XBL Going after Ohtani first is smart, but the stubs you’d spend on another, the wait for his price to go up and the tax is not a great wait to make stubs. You could use hundreds of thousands of stubs to invest and make a lot more.
-
Before or by the break usually. Last year i didnt finish til late because i stopped for a few months when Judge and Ohtani were selling for ridiculous amount of stubs.
-
@goozefn_psn thanks for the advice. I know “investing” in certain players is a great way to make lots of stubs. I did a bit of it last year. (Someone would post some names on occasion to look at).
I’m not entirely comfortable going this route, though. As strange as it sounds, I like playing the Show, but I’m not a follower of baseball much, if at all. 🫣
I do try to flip, but it seemed really hard last year to get any margins. -
(Sorry, duplicate post)
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I’m one of the investors. I made so much last year I had to start buying judges and Ohtanis to stash stubs away. But I wasn’t pushing that method on anyone else. But I still will have a chunk of my stubs dedicated to flipping for Ohtani.
-
@capardo_XBL follow truebusinessreview on YouTube. That’s the group that got me hardcore into investing. A collective group is watching real baseball stats, performances, and make buy/sell/hold suggestions. It’s almost a license to print stubs. Plenty of great advice for free, although he does have paid membership levels too.
I drop some cash day one to get a head start on stubs then never spend another penny.
-
@capardo_XBL I don’t necessarily mean investing in roster updates. I also mean flipping and the other methods of making stubs. You need stubs to make stubs and sitting on hundreds of thousands seems like a bad plan to me.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL That’s a little different to me. If you’re doing it to stay under the 5 mil cap, you’re doing just fine.
-
I had over 2 million in those two cards after hitting my cap. I finally slowed down in July because at what point are you spending those stubs? I still have 3 million and almost every card in the game.
-
But I also am playing a ton, and I like Ohtani’s swing so I want him asap for online. That’s why I use 20% of my stubs on day one for flipping and track that as I flip.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL I stopped trying to make stubs around the same time. Worked perfectly.
-
Every year until last year, I'd have it done around mid to late July. Last year with the market being so high, Thanksgiving weekend.
