Show of hands for collecting Mookie
-
Who all got Mookie, and still made a profit yesterday/today? I somehow sold Vlad Jr for 248k early yesterday and bought him back for 196k. Also scooped up Jansen milestone, Vida milestone, Justice, and Paxton milestone with 250k left.
Lets here your market wins and show some positivity.

I didn't need to buy any cards, but I pretty much broke even after getting all whiff on the flash sale

I think you missed some information here. You sold Vlad for 248k which is 223k after tax and then bought him back for 196k. So you only made 27k on that sale. How did you buy Jansen, Vida, Justice and Paxton and then still have 250k left?
-
I have Mookie, had to spend about 800K on some cards I was missing. Sold some dupes that I held onto. Bottom line, I still have 1.7M left after acquiring Mookie and now owning pretty much every card in the game so not too bad moving forward I guess.
-
I have Mookie, but it did cost basically all my flexibility, left me with about 230k and a few sellable cards

Not just from one transaction. I was able to buy all those cards, sell off all my extra cards after the collection and still have 250k left over after everything.

I was short 2 milestones when it dropped and bought Jansen & Vida to finish that. But I had a ton of duplicates and other cards I didn't lock in.

Gotcha. So you came out 250K ahead after everything or you have 250k Stubs left now. If the latter, how many stubs did you start with? I am close on most collections but just think it will cost too much right now. Will probably do it sometime in the future when prices drop a bit.

No cards needed for Mookie
Have 5+ of each WS and BR reward from launch, and bought 10 of each Prime, Milestone, Awards cards yesterday during the Flash Sale.
There is no reason for me to sell WS and BR cards because it's more of a savings account not to go over 5 million.

I think I had close to 400k after selling vlad Jr. Then was able to buy him back after selling off everything I did need or want. I would just buy a few cards here and there as I flipped during the day.

I got mookie. Didn't need to buy any cards, didn't make any additional stubs since I am already beyond the max
-
I already had everything I needed for Mookie (I collect every sellable card every year so I don't mind locking in anything). The flash sale was nice it let me pick up Peralta and Vlad Jr. for 185k ea. I also stocked up on HRD base cards that have almost doubled in value. Mooke did make me a ton of $ with my investments in Prime and Awards cards. I did guess wrong on some others but overall I made enough to probably buy 2 Mookies.
-
I ended up making a decent profit on the flash sale after locking into get Mookie. Pulled two mid-tiers on the HRD cards. Whiffed on the other stuff. Well except for headliners I didn’t do that one.

Have you considered placing dummy buy orders to reduce your bank so you can have more than the allowed 5m bank? Or why not buy cards that will appreciate in value so your cash is reduced but your net worth goes up? Like putting Gold in your safe instead of cash in the bank.

Yeah I have that already with a bunch of Trout buy orders but I don't really need anymore since I will be moving towards madden as my primary game in 8 days. In total I probably have 6M which should be plenty to the end of the game. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

I think you are about right so long as we don't get any 1m stub cards in the near future. That could drive up prices on all future and past BR/WS cards. SDS has given WS and BR paths to help with that but not sure if it will be enough to keep prices from getting to 1m this year.

Ditto. Technically I have 3.5M stubs liquid but that’s only because I have a lot of high priced duplicates (and an unopened BR pack from 2 seasons ago) that I don’t want to sell now as they will only increase.
-
wasn't a great flash sale for me but I did manage to pull Realumto out of the All Star packs putting me at about 75k, bought Strasberg who was the only player I needed for Betts. I'm down to 6 players left to get (Mancini, Harper, Jansen, Morgan, Kiner, and Ryan.
-
I did okay on the flash sale, pulled FS Gilbert from the HL pack, and took Realmuto in the mid-round. I'm miles away from Mookie, so I picked up Larry Walker. Last year he was one of the few cards I could hit with online.
Out of curiosity, is the SS Strasburg a good option? I wonder because he goes for about 70k, which seems high for an HL card but maybe he's worth it.
