What is the VERY FIRST THING you do when you load MLB 21?
-
- Pray to Ramone for some pack luck
- open up the pre-order packs
- create jerseys
- knock out any easy tasks that will get free cards/packs
- sell off pretty much everything since prices are usually higher the first few days
- Grind out the 42 Series Hayes card
- probably Conquest to get a hang of the new pitching mechanics
-

So wait.... I shouldn't spend money so you can get stuff for free?
Sorry that you feel so oppressed. Maybe MLB the show isn't the right game for somebody like you where a 48 year old husband and very successful father of two decides to spend a small portion of his disposable income.
Not sure why I'm feeding the troll this morning. There's a severe mental deficiency on the part of the troll and feeding it won't help that big brain grow.
If you are Soooooooo worried about what people do with their money, stop posting and run for office locally. Your first elected position will give you plenty of material to help save the community...
Who knows how old or what experiences some of these guys have... Personally I wouldn't spend 1500 on this but I may spend2-300 this year knowing how much play I got out of it last year. In the grand scheme of things 1500 is nothing once you hit a certain point in life. I just dropped 25k on a new AC and sewer pipe for 2 of my rental properties. I'm in the middle of building a new mtn bike which will end up being 6k or so... my wife spent more on face creams and [censored].. This month... So, yeah... they just don't get it yet, hopefully they'll get to the point where they do.
Side note... you mentioned memorabilia... My dad and I collected tons of stuff when I was a kid, we lived fairly close to Cooperstown. cards, bats, jerseys, mantle was a friend of my dad's actually. We had so much stuff, he even lent things to the HOF on occasion. I wish I had some of those things now, my family ended up losing everything and all that stuff went, well who knows where. Met most of the living HOF'ers from the 80's through 90's.
Big reason why I don't collect things today...
The MLBPAA offered me a lifetime membership for a $1500 donation. I jumped on it. I'm given access to the memorabilia direct from them and at a discount up to $2500 off for a calendar year. Considering I get 50% of my MLB TV package because of my membership, it pays for itself after 5 years.
Also, I plan to rent a house in cooperstown this year for a week. Little family outing without worrying about hotels. Looking forward to the visit.
If you've never been there before you'll love it... It's been a while since I've been there but I can't imagine a lot has changed with the town anyway. If you've got kids there are a couple of cool places not too far from there to visit as well, Howe caverns is a pretty cool tour and worth the drive. There were quite a few farms/restaurants/shoppes that may or may not still be in business... Antique places... The Cooperstown bat co. use to have old school baseball games that you could play in.. like big fat wooden bats and softy leather stitched balls...
Plus there's a few cool minor league parks to catch games at a long the way depending on whch way you're heaing there like Binghamton and Oneonta.

I just got back into
Collecting a few years ago. It seems like it is coming back into “style” bc it’s become harder to even find hobby boxes now at retail. Not sure on memorabilia.I’m 40, single , no kids or alimony and have expendable income as well. Nothing wrong with dropping it on your favorite game. I spend some but prefer to “waste” mine on guns and ammo lol. These young bucks will get it one day, let them hate. I mean I’m pretty sure they have the advantage over us in partying and women so they should rest easy in that lol

If you have a brother who doesn't watch baseball that has a T*Mobile subscription, you can get MLB.TV for free (allegedly).

Check out stadium creator, see if it is possible to recreate Riverfront Stadium
Of all the stadiums to re-create, you're going for one of the dirty ashtrays?
What can I say, I'm a die hard Reds fan, but not old enough for Crosley
-
Work on logos/uniforms, stadium creator, open a lot of packs, and play a lot of BR.
-
I'll be telling my 5 year old that Miles Morales is now in heaven and all we have left is this baseball game.

RIP Packs
Look around DD
Sell of cards
Go to bed
Wake up and go to work and create my unisWork from home office in the same room as TV and Xbox so get paid to design my teams look
-
I hope it won't be that intro game!
Probably open pre-order bonuses, then check what crappy soundtrack for this year to mute 🤪

Exactly the same for me... except PS5.

Very first thing I do is mute the soundtrack

Do the Braves team collection. David Justice better be the reward!

Complain about the hitting to ensure they won't make any game breaking tweaks due to our enthusiasm.
Gold.
