@YOSHI24_XBL yeah right son. You earned like 5 mill in stubs in 5 weeks nms. You been outside or taken a shower or seen a toilet in those 5 weeks son?
Maybe this simple answer is the only one you will have with your mindset
… Other than that: You did not need to earn 5M in the first 5 weeks (way less, especially if you know how to read the market), the rest belongs to the smarter approach like selling stuff you do not need (first), focus on getting packs, things of value, etc. … -
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN I probably finished the entire collection for less than 2.5M. Buy the expensive cards first.

@CardinalBaseball_MLBTS you’re also a liar if you’re trying to pretend to be serious. I just wanted to call you out on that. You either flip like crazy or you spent a ton of money.
I just got Beltran last Tuesday and only bought 1 150k stub bundle when the stub sale was going. I don't "flip" at all really and just follow baseball and know which lower tier cards could possibly get upgraded. I just sell all my duplicates and any card I don't feel will make my squad. And I had to grind to save up for Judge and Witt and had saved up another 450k by doing DQ and would have made enough to buy Ohtani NMS as well, but got impatient and just spend the 70$. So it can be done and I did it without going 10-0.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN you cant be expecting these guys to understand economics
Please. SDS has manipulated the market with quicksell values and pack distribution to create the type of market where flipping is basically a waste of time, all in order to encourage players to spend real money. Raising the cap on high diamonds to 750K as well -- almost forgot that.
WHO doesn't understand economics???

This thread is comedic gold. There are plenty of ways to make stubs and not spend hours a day on the game. Plenty of people have pointed out how, plenty of people still blame others for their situation.

I completed the live series collection the first day of the very first weekend classic when I bought Ohtani for 380k due to the weekend classic packs having LS in them. That was the last card I needed. I am completely no money spent. I don’t really flip cards either. I prefer to just play the game. Took me 4 weeks to do it. It is incredibly easy to earn stubs in this game and you can read the markets as to when the best time to buy a player will be. That’s why you are seeing prices rise so much. People are making the stubs to make these purchases.
So not only do I have LS done. I have Rolen, Buxton, most of the chase cards (I think the only two I don’t have are Acuna and Yordan). I’ll probably have Acuna today, and could care less about the Yordan card honestly. Although I’ll still probably get him at some point because I like to finish out the year with all the cards.
-
It’s the journey, not the destination. Last year I finished LS early and had packs stockpiling most of the way after that.

@LHUBison58_XBL when did you get out of the newspaper? What was that like?

Seems worth noting that most of these cards have already come back down in price in the 4 days since the roster update. Yes they are still very expensive, and that's an entirely separate discussion, but keep this in mind when the next roster update rolls around and you jump in to overreaction mode about them jumping in price for a few days again.

I completed the collection no money spent. Even though I spend money. I pulled Ohtani twice. Just spamming diamond quest and everywhere else the free packs were available. Funny story I had a friend who bought stubs off of a site. Completed collections. I’m a 100% disabled vet and I contemplated buying some whenever I got paid on the 1st between one check I completed the collection and my buddy was livid

Probably sometime in college around the turn of the century. I was still reading The NY Times daily when I graduated. The internet wasn’t as convenient as it is today with smart phones. Hell, wifi was pretty new then.

@Pergo_MLBTS
It is also a great time to have stocked up on expensive cards, or sell the cards you pull. I bought two Willi Castros for 280k during the flash sale today. They have already jumped back to profitability and will continue to climb tomorrow. Easy way to make stubs if you don’t want to invest in large quantities. -
@Loyal-Wiglaf_XBL SDS doesn't control pack distribution. RNG does
