90+ Live Series
-
I Finally bit the bullet the got him today to finish off the Yankees. I'm down to 100k left and will have to work my stubs back up again but at least I have Giambi now.
Only 6 players to go now, Scherzer, Degrom, Bellinger, Arenado, Verlander and of course Trout.

They’ve all but removed them from packs at this point. An interesting move to push microtransactions on a rapidly dying game. Let’s see if it works out for them.
Lol rapidly dying game. You blowhards are the same on every forum.

Just call it how I see it from my timeline and all the people I talk to. Sorry if it hurts your feelings.

It really is just those 90-plus guys. I dont mind the prices on anything else, given the reasoning behind them. I dont even mind Trout, necessarily, because there's always one. But having to do Trout and Cole makes the AL kind of crazy. And then the NL has Scherzer, deGrom, Arenado and Bellinger.
I need one player left for AL in Cole. I need 7 for the NL: deGrom, Scherzer, Strasburg, Arenado and the Dodgers diamonds. I guess I'll just wait a while until it actually makes sense. It may take a while, but they'll eventually come down.

Pack odds are the same as last year as far as I know. The reason for high prices of high diamonds has more to do with how easy it is to get low diamonds with them being the rewards for 9 br wins this year. Packs aren’t what is driving the prices. Also demand for those high diamonds are higher this year because collections are easier to complete so more people are going after them who in the past wouldn’t have.
I think you're halfway right.
Last year around this time, we had a ton of crazy good 97-99 OVR cards making their way into the game and the only Live Series diamonds above 90 overall were Trout, Arenado, and Scherzer (there was probably 1-2 I'm forgetting about) but a lot of the really good Live Series cards above 90 like Bellinger, Yelich, deGrom, Cole, etc. started off around 86-88 overall so they weren't super expensive to start the year.
With SDS wanting to diversify the overalls in Live Series a bit more this year and the fact that we haven't had too many cards released that will be in our lineups come August/September on the market, the only way to acquire the very best cards in the game is through collecting the entire AL, NL, and MLB -- so, the Live Series cards are "gatekeepers" to having the very best team possible this year.
It's not difficult to see that the best cards you can get, as of right now, are unlocked by collecting Live Series cards or through the XP Path. I'd say the best cards at each position (that aren't Prestige diamonds like Jose Ramirez, Eric Thames, and George Springer) this year are the cards you get from the LS collection or XP Path. Sure, the Future Stars cards have a few really awesome cards but if you stuck to just collecting the Live Series and getting cards from the XP Path, you could have a team of...
