    Let's say there is a gold card of limited supply. I have enough stubs to go in and buy up all of the buy now orders. I've done the math it would be around 80 orders and the average of each would be around 4,200. Once I've bought up all the buy now orders I could sell them back when the sell now rose above the average I bought them at.

    DM me with which cards you want to make a run at, and LET'S BUY THEM ALL!!!!!!

    Not gonna do it today. I might try later in the year. But the card I was looking at was Hunter Greene. You can buy all of his stock for 330k.

    I promise you that is not all of his stock. SDS Adds cards to the market. When people see there are no orders they will will start listing theirs for bigger profits. You could probably make some stubs but it's still a Gamble. And no there is absolutely nothing wrong and you will not get banned anyone that says that isn't complete moron. Why would you spending your stubs to buy all of a supply of a certain card be a bannable offense? You're not doing anything wrong. I don't even know why that would cross your mind. I think you are just feeling people out to see if they think it's a good idea.

    I agree it's definitely not all his stock. But you wouldn't need it to be, you would only need maybe a 10 minute window to sell back as many as you can before people caught on. Even then the prices wouldn't snap back to where they were, they would slowly move back to normal.

    I think for a card that needs to be locked in for collections like that one for the player of the month there is no way you cannot make stops because whoever sold the card for the initial quick stubs will end up wanting to buy it back down the road unless they are not completing the player of the month program. I think you have a lot bigger than a 10-minute window people aren't going to catch on to a card like that that quick and there's only so many in circulation so there's no rush it's like an event card you can save that for 3 months and then when a bigger collection comes along it's worth a bunch but some people just need the stubs now which I understand. You should be working on Randy Johnson if you haven't got him already

    Man the collection rewards stink this year. Pujols is better than frank. Frank is a bench bat for me. I'm in no hurry to spend 700k to get a pitcher I'll use every 4 games.

    Clemente is worlds better than he was last year I almost have him a parallel 5, Frank is awesome but the longer you wait to get him you will probably never use him and Randy is the best picture ever in this game I don't know what you're holding your stubs for but that's your choice. Plus you'll need that voucher towards the big collection rewards like last year

    LS is not essential for other collections…at least if you plan things accordingly…and/or you are fine waiting a week or so after the collection drops. I think last year it was even possible to complete Rivera without all of LS on day one, but was much more attainable without LS about a week later.

    Yes. Last year they would drop the collections then people would go into full panic spending millions of stubs to complete it, then a week later when the smoke settled, sds wouod drop all the series cards you would need in a new program lol

    Dang, you've already got the whole collection? I thought you sold Trout and bought up the NL. I'm 8 teams away but 6 of those are all the monsters. I could probably complete 3 or 4 but then I'd have no stubs.

    Anyway, Frank didn't really do it for me either last year. I'm hoping this card is better.

    No, locked in trout and completed the AL. Still lack the NL

    Oh so you decided against selling him and buying the NL. I remember a thread you had going about it. Regardless, you are miles ahead of most. Wish Frankie was a better bet for you hahaha.

    At least we have Bryan Friggin Reynolds.

    But doesn't everybody complete live series eventually? Why not do it when the cards are viable as opposed to when they are bench bats? I remember I needed live series last year because there was something I didn't have I can't remember which one it was it may have been the Jackie Robinson at the beginning. That will be this year's Joe mauer I think and those cards are still like over 300K just for a 96 overall catcher that you may never use. I thought Jackie Robinson was a better collection last year

    It is my main goal at the moment. I need about 700k (before the market BS yesterday) to complete it. I have around 600k right now. I'll finish the collection when I'm at 1 million.

    Dude Clemente is way better than Thomas you should have done the opposite if you weren't going to complete the whole series. But I honestly love Thomas this early in the year.

    But if you own them all...why sell now? Why not wait until the first collection drops and sell to the highest bidders?

    He's nice. Especially when you put in a lefty pinch hitter, and then your opponent switches to a lefty pitcher, then you switch again to bring out big frank lol. I like to think they are cussing me in those moments

    "Dude how the [censored] does this guy have frank Thomas just sitting on the bench" 🤣😂

You should be working on Randy Johnson if you haven't got him already

    Man the collection rewards stink this year. Pujols is better than frank. Frank is a bench bat for me. I'm in no hurry to spend 700k to get a pitcher I'll use every 4 games.

    Clemente is worlds better than he was last year I almost have him a parallel 5, Frank is awesome but the longer you wait to get him you will probably never use him and Randy is the best picture ever in this game I don't know what you're holding your stubs for but that's your choice. Plus you'll need that voucher towards the big collection rewards like last year

    LS is not essential for other collections…at least if you plan things accordingly…and/or you are fine waiting a week or so after the collection drops. I think last year it was even possible to complete Rivera without all of LS on day one, but was much more attainable without LS about a week later.

    But doesn't everybody complete live series eventually? Why not do it when the cards are viable as opposed to when they are bench bats? I remember I needed live series last year because there was something I didn't have I can't remember which one it was it may have been the Jackie Robinson at the beginning. That will be this year's Joe mauer I think and those cards are still like over 300K just for a 96 overall catcher that you may never use. I thought Jackie Robinson was a better collection last year

    For me, Jackie was probably my favorite card all year last year. I was also completely sold on Chipper and Papi. Papi was my first bat off the bench all year versus righties and while I loved a lot of third baseman last year, I still went back to Chipper almost all year.

    This year I just have zero interest in Frank and Clemente and I love Randy, but I am just not sold on going all in on LS this year. In all honesty 300k on Mauer is much more intriguing to me than AL or NL, because I love his swing. At this point I have completed every LS team except Angels, Padres, Braves and Mets. I completed AL East, because I love Vlad and it was a path to a signature and I completed the Dodgers because I love Trea and it was a path to an Awards that happened to be Gibson that I wanted. I also have made solid ground on all Legends/Flashbacks collection by buying RS, BR and Events rewards. I think I am all caught up on all of those except for the new Event.

    Since I wasn't sold on the LS collection this year, I decided my initial focus would be on rewards that I knew would go up in value and I would just handle LS and other pack cards as I felt like it or the market shifted to where I felt it made sense. I completely get completing LS first...it just wasn't the direction I wanted to go this year.

    Let's say there is a gold card of limited supply. I have enough stubs to go in and buy up all of the buy now orders. I've done the math it would be around 80 orders and the average of each would be around 4,200. Once I've bought up all the buy now orders I could sell them back when the sell now rose above the average I bought them at.

    DM me with which cards you want to make a run at, and LET'S BUY THEM ALL!!!!!!

    Not gonna do it today. I might try later in the year. But the card I was looking at was Hunter Greene. You can buy all of his stock for 330k.

    I promise you that is not all of his stock. SDS Adds cards to the market. When people see there are no orders they will will start listing theirs for bigger profits. You could probably make some stubs but it's still a Gamble. And no there is absolutely nothing wrong and you will not get banned anyone that says that isn't complete moron. Why would you spending your stubs to buy all of a supply of a certain card be a bannable offense? You're not doing anything wrong. I don't even know why that would cross your mind. I think you are just feeling people out to see if they think it's a good idea.

    I agree it's definitely not all his stock. But you wouldn't need it to be, you would only need maybe a 10 minute window to sell back as many as you can before people caught on. Even then the prices wouldn't snap back to where they were, they would slowly move back to normal.

    I think for a card that needs to be locked in for collections like that one for the player of the month there is no way you cannot make stops because whoever sold the card for the initial quick stubs will end up wanting to buy it back down the road unless they are not completing the player of the month program.

    Understandable just remember that mauer will get a 99. I wish the collection mauer was his 99 like Jackie was last year. Then he's worth 300k all day. End game card from jump street.

    Yes, this very clearly violates TOS regarding market manipulation. You will get banned, especially since you posted about it here first directly stating your attempt to manipulate the market. Don’t do it.

    See that's what I don't understand...that's simple supply and demand, but used in a way that doesn't profit SDS so it's wrong
