Easier to get Trout or Mantle?
-
I have played a ton of DD and I’m nowhere near getting trout or mantle. What’s the quickest way to get them and which is easier/faster? I have a stacked lineup already but would replace Soto or move Bellinger (finest) to 1st if I could get 2 out of the 3: Mays/trout/mantle.

Mantle. LS is beyond cheap in comparison to Trout's requirements. Plus getting Mantle helps contribute.
-
I don’t get it though. I’m 96 gold in xp and I have maybe 2/3rds of the live series cards still.

What did you use your stubs on? Also, do you have a bunch of duplicates to sell off? How many stubs currently?

I bought Bellinger finest, Soto, honus, machado, degrom. 300k atm. Obviously that would be enough to complete LS but it seems everyone I play has mantle, Griffey, thought, MA tatis and then still the same caliber team the rest of the way that I do.

I can understand the TA4 guys if you weren’t close, but Belli was only 20 wins in event and Honus an innings boss that could have been taken in 9th or now 11th inning program. You probably spent a million on just those two. Personally I’d do LS first because a lot of those cards can be used for Trout.

It’s a major grind for me to get that many event games finished. (Baby at home so I get limited blocks of time. I can see me paying for LS to get mantle but how does everyone seem to get trout!?

I bought the game last month when it was on sale for $10 and I had Mantle within 3 days. It really wasn't that hard. Spend an afternoon flipping on the market and then put in the buy orders you need for live series cards.
Honestly, Trout wasn't much harder. I unlocked him two weeks ago. Again, I just flipped some of the lower cost guys until the profit covered the cost of the card itself, and then I moved on to the next set of cards. Making stubs in this game is ridiculously easy if you use the market. I haven't checked today, but yesterday I was making 15-20 k per flip on 95 Dibble. I flipped him about 4-5 times before the margin crashed and called it a day. That's 80-100 k profit for minimal effort while I was working around the house doing other things.

I flipped the lower priced cards all year really no risk at all making anywhere from 4-5k per transaction. For example buying Feller for 6500 and selling for minimum of 13500. Earlier in the year I was buying and selling Forest Whitney and I will tell you I bet I made over 2-3 million in profit off him alone. Andrew Mccutchen was another I made a ton on. Sitting on a ton of stubbs but really have everyone possible except some of the BR rewards. I do have 99 Feller and mize from the BR. I have a buy in for 99 wagner probably won't get him as I have been waiting since October 13. I am done playing the market so there are my tips to you.

Did you pay to get mantle within 3 days or never sleep?

Neither. While I'm new to 20, I've been playing DD since 17 so I'm very familiar with how to work the market efficiently. I easily got every market card in 19 without spending any actual money on stubs.
For 20 I started with the post season program leading up to 99 Corey Seager. That gave me a very solid team of usable diamonds. Once I had a decent team, I started playing some of the newer conquest maps. I got a couple of decent rewards like 99 Hader and 97 Judge, but I didn't sell them for stubs since I didn't feel it was necessary.
When I wasn't playing, I took my sellable post season cards out of my lineup and flipped them on the market. As my stub count grew, I added more cards that I was actively flipping. At the height of my flipping those first few days I probably had 10-15 different tabs open with cards coming and going which were each giving me a minimum of 4-5 k per flip. It might seem like a lot of work, but it was just a mindless task I did while watching TV and movies.
I had no intention of chasing after Mantle at first, but before long I had a pretty decent stub count. Putting in all of those buy orders was definitely tedious, but it wasn't difficult. Anyone could get Mantle easily at this point if they really want him and they know how to work the market.

I have a second account and I did the LS collection for Mantle last week and it immediately got me Trout when I was done. I did have many cards built up - legends, finest, etc. - but LS made Trout a breeze.
Mantle from almost scratch - no LS Diamonds and very few gold's locked in - cost about 500-700k (the show zone might have an exact number.) I made back about 90k. Once I locked everything in for Mantle, Trout ended up being an afterthought and the easiest collection ever.
