Buying TA stage 3 effects stage 4 progress?

Just a question. All of them are pretty cheap but wouldn't that set you back when 4 comes out? You'd have to grind to break into stage 4. I guess they can make stage 4 sellable as well.

I would assume they will make stage 4 sellable because if they don't, there will be huge uproar. I can't see them being that stupid

They should make stage 1 and 2 as well beginning next year. You cannot go back now but if it is going to progress from gold to 86-89 to early 90s etc why not?

Stage 4 will undoubtedly be sell-able, as well. I don't think it was the initial plan but I think they saw that people weren't as excited to go through the grind to get the Future Stars cards. Plus, there's still a lot of players who struggle with Showdown (myself included).
