Anybody thinks the Live series collection isn’t worth it?
-
Live Series will play a larger role once the season starts and we get Supercharged, Insider Edge and Upgrades/Downgrades every three weeks.
For me the Live Series collections are more so about the Team Captains collection rewards than the overall rewards although I do want that Jeter even though getting the 92 Jeter isn't a bad consolation... not to mention the Free 86 that can get boosted with the David Wright Cover Athlete Captain card that I opted to grab from my free Captains pack.

I completed the LS collection because being a Yankees fan that grew up during the Jeter led dynasty, I didn’t want to wait until August to get him. So far he has hit more homers for me than Sosa or McGwire and that’s with no boosts. And not cheap ones either - Center field no doubters. He actually is a great card.And while he may not be worth “the cost” to non Jeter fans, You will need him for all future big collections.
I have no idea how you’ve done it. Margins are thin flipping and I’m only at 86K stubs right now.
I bought $800 worth of stubs.
Even $800 in stubs, you probably had some great pack luck. I spent probably more than that on stubs so far and I still need Trout, Ohtani, and DeGrom, 5 Golds, and a bunch of lower tier cards....but I also bought a lot of non-LS cards. The other thing is, I pulled 99 Trout, 99 Ohtani, 99 Ketel so I didn't feel the pull to get cards like Sosa/McGwire. I am a New Yorker but I am also a Mets fan...Though I always liked Jeter. I only locked in the NL East even though I have 40/40 of almost every team because I am not sure it is worth it to do yet.....I may want to sell some for stubs to buy other non-LS cards

What up dude.Yup, doing good man! Needed a break from football a bit, The Show will be my few months of relief! haha

Not only are the collection rewards not as great as years past. We have way too many cards to use to play online with. In past years live series cards could be used for a few months online, and this year without a supercharged card most live series have a better or equal free card to use.
-
Pulled Trout already so I'll be working on LS collection. Hopefully pull a few more good diamonds with packs from programs and mini seasons. If the Season 1 rewards were good for the whole year that Babe Ruth and Chipper would be #1 priority.

Last year we had Randy Johnson who was just a nightmare to deal with for quite awhile but this years master Jeter doesn’t compare to what Randy was last year. Sure he looks amazing but I don’t see him having the same impact Randy did.
McGwire and Sosa look good as well but they’re not worth the millions of stubs spending to get them. I basically did the collection last year specifically cause of Randy and seen how dominant he was. I just don’t see the value being worth it this year. Anybody else feel that way?
Trea Turner is 95% of the card that Jeter is and he's basically free with grinding. Jeter is simply a BAD value...same with Mark Since there's several max power cards out there for much cheaper.
I made a long post in here last week - Jeter and Mark won't have value until Set 1 expires in July. Even then, there will be set 2 cards comparable or better!

No pack luck, I never buy packs. I bought the stubs & then put in sell now orders on ALL cards. Never paid asking price for a single card. That’s how I was able to do the collection…Best of luck whichever direction you decide to go.

I was feeling that way a bit. I was like "do I really want to grind out these sets and purchases again?" Then I pulled Judge from a Ballin' free pack and it kick started my drive to grind.
I'm an OCD Completionist. I knew I couldn't make it past 2 days. -

I'm an OCD Completionist. I knew I couldn't make it past 2 days.I'm OCD too about collections. I have to finish LS as quick as possible and then I'll focus on something else. Plus finishing it early makes the other collections a lot easier later on.
-
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m thoroughly enjoying putting the supercharged LS players in my lineups.
Makes the LS collection worthwhile just in itself, IMO.

OK I didn't think so at first, but I just pulled Trout so I think I may now. Never pulled him this early
-
Jeter is like the 99 Jackie we get every year, Sosa looks amazing and McGwire too but this year 1st base defense is important. I’ll try to use somebody with a Silver shield until Belli is out.
