In the long term, you will not lose on cards you can't get anymore like ws, br and events unless they do something crazy and make them available again which they haven't done before.
The price volatility is going to depend on how hard or easy it is to complete collection. Safest best is to buy the cheapest cards in each collection as these will be the ones peeps buy first to complete. Also spread it out and buy some from each collection. One or two will be harder to complete than others.
Ps. If you buy pack cards like KS, be mindful of a flash sale. It will tank their value.
I'm not sure where you are getting your information from but they have definitely re-released WS, BR, and event rewards. Its just that it isn't until the end so it doesn't matter at that point
Yes, you're correct, they do at the end of the game cycle but we are only in the 5th that's a very long way away. And think it was only WS cards. I don't think it was BR or event rewards the good ones had a 1M wait list forever and still might.
My point was you will be fine with the rare cards going up in value for a long time, unless they do something they haven't done before.

Yes, prices will go up.
There will be a major price uptick right as the content drops as people scramble to buy up stuff on the cheap to complete removing alpt of inventory.
From there proces will remain high for until there is a pack sale or flash sale.
The xbox stub sale has already caused a price increase and if a PS stub sale where to start tomorrow that could cause further flux.
Cards that will be the biggest jump are old WS, BR and inning program cards no longer available. For example gold Dan Plesac will be 30k tomorrow. If you have cards like this you have to decide what is more valuable? Tge collection card day one or max value for a card.
Bottom line card prices are going up no matter who the reward is and if its a card that is very desirable like a Aaron, Griffey, Albert guys of nature it could be even more.
Max value for gold is 25k, 5k for silver so cheap golds that have a finite supply and are relatively cheap are great investments
I thought it was 30k but that may have been in MLB 19

Is this going to be the last major collection that would need the legends and flashbacks. I know there's the postseason one and the finest one later in the year.

I don't think so, think their will be another one.

A lot of people are certainly acting like it will be, but considering it says "the next big one" on the schedule I personally think there will be at least 1 more after this one

Got it good to know, just wanted to see if it would be worth it to sell off my super high priced guys and collect the inexpensive ones only.

Items likely to see the biggest increase
Old Topps Now from April and May
BR cards no longer in reward pack
WS cards no longer in reward pack
BR program cards

I've been collecting flashbacks/legends for the past month or so getting ready for the new collection, I have everything less than 50k. I'm confident I'll have everything needed for day 1, but worst case I'll be a few short on Awards, Sig, Prime, and Milestone. I have around 250k stubs right now.
I'm thinking of just spending the rest of my stubs for 4-6 guys in the 50k-60k range. If I don't end up needing them, there's no way they'll lose value, right??
You're in no-mans land until the size of each collection required is revealed. If its less than 50k-60k range, for that collection, then some will be dumping the players that cost that much and their price will plummet. If more then they'll go up. I chose to invest in all of the legends that were 15-20k and under because I'm certain they'll be required. Good luck - if I had 250k sitting around ... it would be invested in gold & up legends/flashbacks right now.

I think this will be the second collection of three. Don't think there will be more than 3.

This is good advice. Look for the cheapest cards of collections. That's what peeps will buy first to complete.

You saying Harper and Jansen are going to be 1m cards at some point?
I wasn't sure how to judge this with the 100 point reward now. My 11/17/20 1m order for Billy Wagner hasn't been filled yet in 20 haha

I'm hoping I just don't need those prospects...I have everything else.
100% you will need 30 of them that is why they made the change to conquest to get all 30 gold in one conquest run. I expect to see the gold prospects to exceed the 10k mark tomorrow even pushing the 20k mark.
I have 4 of each of the 30 (play USA too much) so hoping you’re right. Had even more but been selling them last few days at 5K per. Easy grind.

No way any of these cards hit 1M again. There’s way too much supply

For those 2 specifically yes, but not while they can still be had in BR. Once they are gone they will steadily go up. Jansen more so as he could be an end game card. Either way towards the end game peeps will be flush with stubbs and will just want them to have every card in the game. Not to mention with every collection, cards get locked which also decreases supply further increasing their rarity, demand and price.

Wagner, Chipper and Mays were the original 1 M cards. The other ones didn't hit 1 mil until there were no new rewards and no reason to pick any card but them from the pack. Now while I wouldn't be surprised if some of the older rewards hit 1 mil for a brief period of time, the BR program and WS cumulative rewards program were created specifically to avoid waitlisted cards. When there are no new rewards for those modes in November or so I'm willing to bet they will give a pack with all the cards in it every so many RS wins/ BR points. Not to mention they likely won't make team affinity cards sellable, which was another big reason for the waitlists

I’ve got at least 2 of every prospect. Obviously I hope they are needed.
-
I've seen prices going up quite a bit already. There were several cards in the 20 to 30k range that I was working toward, but now they've doubled so I decided to just hope I have enough to finish the collection right now and wait until things calm down.

This is good advice. Look for the cheapest cards of collections. That's what peeps will buy first to complete.
I'm short maybe 10-15 cards of having every flashback or legend. Having several duplicates of 20k or less cards. I think if you have 75-80% of every card type and all of the collection cards (Jackie, Ohtani, Chipper, Rivera, etc) you're good. I bought over 100k of diamonds that were at or near quick sale, and a bunch of silver flashbacks. The diamonds there is no danger of losing anything, and all the silvers and gold will most likely hit the price cap per card.
