Situations like this are why I never mess with investments. Flipping may not be quite as profitable at times, but there's far less risk involved because the price that stuff goes for is mostly irrelevant as long as margins are good. My ability to make stubs has pretty much been unaffected by the crash.
Yeah that is true, when you use those stubs to buy cards before the crash is hurts knowing you could of got more cards you needed.
boo hoo thats how investing works, happens in the real world all the time
It was not investing, I did not lose stubs,

I think the market is recovering! This is wonderful news.

Why flip commons when you can make more stubs in the same amount of time flipping virtually anything else? Especially if you are starting with a large bank roll. I don't get it. Why intentionally choose the least efficient method?

I have to agree. I do understand that commons, bronzes and Silvers can move super quickly. But, low diamonds with high margins are the best way to go at least for me. Just using the top 13 ovr LS diamonds or the mid tier HRD or ASG players : you can make huge piles of fake money
On Wednesday, I was down to 550k stubs after a little shopping spree. From Thursday- Saturday, I got up to 2 million. This is not meant as a brag because I know there are players making far more, but I like the pace that they move. I was able to buy the 2 two other bosses for the 9th inning Babe and Gagne (yes I picked Bench), and a handful of old online rewards and went back down to 500k. Today I'm almost back to a Million. You can make a huge profit in a still non stressful flipping scenario. Just a suggestion, ultimately we each have our own strategies and styles.

Do you think 2.4M is enough to get most of the past bosses and henchmen?

Diamond perks made me an insane amount of stubs this year. Sitting on 4 million and think I might actually try to hit the cap as I never have before.
-
At this stage in the game what is left to buy or invest towards? I have every non LS card and 3.5 million. Had to see that this is end game for the market this year with all the free Affinity packs. The only thing I see yet to be released are some uniforms.

Depends on how many you're missing but it'll certainly come close. The henchmen are all pretty cheap but there are a lot. The Bosses have definitely come down but it adds quick. I'd buy whatever you can but keep a few hundred K in the bank so you can flip again and build up your capital.

I definitely think you're right. A few more bosses, and a new Event legend next week, not sure what else. I've slowed down but am still an addict flipper.

I need 12 more Legends/Flashbacks off the Market to have them all after I finish TA5. That will cost me between 3 and 4 million. I picked up another 12 cards over the weekend. Even with the Market Crash I did ok.

Looking at Bronze/Common cards in a "crash" is a waste of time. I tried to keep up with my binder this year but about a month ago I had about 20-30 of every card. I found the companion app that let me post 25 orders of a some bronze [censored] for 200 each and over a week - they sold.
I did that for hundreds of cards during my down time.
I can EASILY see someone doing the same thing but not checking the prices and just throwing all their worthless cards for 2x/3x QS value.
The crash was more about all the old inning bosses that dropped 50-60% overnight. How cards went from 300k to 120k despite not being an available card to collect and hasn't been for 6 months.

I’m not that big of a risk taker, so bronze and common cards offer me stubs (smaller amounts I will admit) without that much of a risk compared to legend cards. It’s a niche for me in the market, if you will, and it’s satisfying to me. Additionally, all those little stub transactions add up.

You could put in minimum buy orders on gold and diamond equipment, with absolutely zero risk, and would have made over 20 million in stubs this year if you flipped five minutes a day.

I’ll have to start that early next year but I’ll give it a try now.

Only my buy orders have gone through, haven’t sold any yet.

I think if you waited this long to try and make stubs off the market you are in trouble. LS are always a source of coins but one we hit the 7th or 8th inning those stubs sources are not reliable and profit margins become much smaller. People are freaking out now, just want until next inning when they rerelease the inning bosses and there is nothing holding value. Again the time to make stubbs was early in the game release, now is the time to be buying up any cards you want to play with for the next month or two.
That is wrong cause I made 1m in stubs the Sat before the Crash of the market. I also do not flip LS cards. I continue to make stubs but with the crash I have moved on to different cards to flip while still flipping the cards that made me a ton of stubs the last 5 months until the crash.
Yes I agree with you sir! The weekend before the crash I made nearly 3 million stubs in 4 days. In my opinion the optimal time to make stubs has always been late summer.

I am still making stubs, I am down to 10 cards to have all the flash backs and legends well minus TA5 which I will get.
