Help me spend 650k stubs
-
I've saved up 650k stubs, and would like some help spending it. I haven't done [censored] for the live series collection, and don't have anywhere near enough to complete it. I don't have the time to sit there and flip cards this year or I would, I'd rather just play the game when I have free time. Here's what my team looks like so far
1B P5 Fotf Devers, 2B P5 Fotf Seager, SS P5 2nd half marte, 3B P5 Breakout Eddie, LF P5 Fotf Robert, CF P5 Fotf Trout, RF P5 Fotf Mullins, C My cap
SP- 88 Randy, 89 Verlander, 92 Keuchel, 90 Burnes, 90 Manoah
Pen- P5 Hader, P3 Ottavino, P3 Britton, 87 Eovaldi, P5 Fotf Chapman, 93 Hoffman, 91 Cishek -
Maybe start working towards the Brett collection? It's the best card in the game and will be for a long time.
-
Idk man start working towards the live series collection. If you complete the LS and stay current with the programs you will probably be close to competing Brett as well.

I mean, Brett is my all time favorite player but not a chance in hell I see him before Labor Day if at all. Not sure I can play this that long. In the meantime, I purchased Ohtani to get AL done and it was a waste. I sold about 20 cards I had for Brett to get Takashi done as I wanted to play with Ruth and Delgado.
Randy and Utley are the only 2 LS cards worth it imo. I will probably punt that idea and see if I can get Brett down the road without collections. I would save some stubs in case a player you really want comes out and you are unable to obtain them.

I agree. There are some good collection rewards. Start with live series Trout? Frank Thomas is a good one too.

Thomas sucks. Swing is way to slow.

I have the Brett collection and I completely get not wanting to to work towards it or LS. I keep trying to convince my son to not worry about LS because he just doesn't have enough time to work the market and such. Rotation wise I have been pretty pleased with Carrasco and Weaver and they are not a ton of stubs. AS Mookie is one of the few cards I haven't used, but most people love it and I typically love his cards. The Milestone Castellanos might also be a great bench bat and I haven't used him but Brian Wilson might be great out of the pen. I haven't been pleased with his lower cards, but this one doesn't look too bad.

You can also buy 8 50-pack bundles and then delete the game in anger afterwards for not pulling anything significant. That's probably the way to go if you'd ask me.

I always do really good with babe ruth and greg maddux. I was thinking about doing the takashi collection for those 2 cards alone. Would cost me 250k and I can throw Babe at 1B, no way he's going in the outfield with how slow he is
Randy is the only reason I want to do the LS collection but it's hard justifying that kind of time and stubs for someone I can't use every game, I also agree about Frank having a slow [censored] swing and I never do good with his card. -
If you wan't brett relatively quickly, you have to so the live series first. 2 of the 3 of Michael Young, Mussina, and Randy are needed to get signatures done and you need Keuchel and Gibson at minimum for awards cards. It's up to you though. Until they start giving guaranteed live series 90+ the live series won't get any cheaper. If you wait long enough brett will be almost free.
-
I did the takashi collection. Cost me 260k but oh well, I got Babe and maddux out of it and Rickey for a pinch runner on the bench. I've got 380k left that I'll probably sit on for a while and see what content comes out next. Interested in that Bobby Miller card but I'll wait and get him for free grinding that program.
-
I would buy a bunch of packs so I could pull diamonds.

Way too many stubs to worry about that. I made WS with Cruz in RF. He is hitting around .400 for me and is one of my favorite hitters so didn't care if he cost me games defensively, which he really didn't. Still need the innings I figured I would make WS at some point which I did. You have to use cards you enjoy especially for RS. I don't enjoy hitting with Thomas at all. I could sell Yelich, Pujols and Marte and maybe get Acuna but for what? An outfielder I wouldn't want to hit with at HOF+.

8 50-packs and sell everything to crash the market. Market didn't tank nearly as much as I would have though as I think they people Brett to far out of reach for most. I thought I was sitting good with 12 FOTF and the prospect collection done. Nope dead wrong.

This! I mean, you can't win unless you play, right? By the way, Trout is always waiting for you in the "next" pack!
Edit: This is not serious advice. Never buy packs.

I haven't pulled Trout in 5 years. He doesn't exist in packs.

Agreed! He's always in the next one.

I pulled trout last year from a standard pack. That will never happen again. I did pull acuna jr and Aaron judge this year. Acuna was the first day I got the game and judge was last night.

Use cards that you like and all three of those guys can be in your lineup for a while. If you don't want Brett or Randy, no reason to go for those collections. Only word of warning is you might want some of the future big collections.

Love the Cruz card but his slow speed in right kills me. Wish we had DH cause I’d plug him in there all day. Still use him as a righty bench bat though.
