I just think for the average player we will never be able to see players like Alomar Wagner and Mantle especially
I mean you can, you just have to dedicate to flipping, I made about 5k or so in 2 hours last night just flipping low end cards and duplicates

That's by design, not everyone is supposed to get them. You either got to put in a lot of time, or a good amount of money.
It will get cheaper as times passes

By having a job that’s decent. Had Mantle day one.
Don’t regret it either. Last year I waited all year for Babe Ruth, by the time I got him I was burnt out and I quit playing a few weeks later.
I’ve wanted Mantle for years in this game. When I heard he was in it, I decided to invest in the game this year. I wanted to use him all year.
I play this game enough that is was worth it.
He is great by the way too. So much fun using that card.
U got Mantle 99 Day one?

This is exactly right.

I envy you, I'd much rather buy them outright, would save a lot of time. Good for you that you can do that.

I appreciate this. I am just a Mets fan who likes certain players and disappointed I will never see them. I might think about spending money on stubs if I knew I could buy the Wagner card for example.

First few days. As long as it took me to piece together the live collection. I just mean I did it immediately. Almost have him at Blood Diamond too.

I envy you all who are that successful at this game. I am a ok player and really struggle finding the ability to get the top notch players. In madden I knew for a while I would not be able to buy 94-96 players and this week because game out so long and all players purchaseable I got 5 this week.

Don't forget about Mets legend: Roberto Alomar.

I had the “pleasure” of seeing his last game Live at Shea as a Met lol
-
One thing you have to remember too. Mantle is their “new” legend. Next year he will be much easier to acquire. They probably spent a ton of money to get the rights to him. That’s why he’s a collection reward.
SDS is the least greedy of all these type of games. I don’t mind spending money on this game.
-
Just my opinion but I find it easier to acquire a better team in madden for a novice player. And I don’t need even Mantle but Wagner and Alomar would be nice to acquire without spending 200 hours or $200

I got Mantle, not through money but through a ton of time.
Didn't buy packs, saved every stub.
- Did everything for free packs and got lucky, pulled around 10 diamonds from free packs (Conquest, events etc).
- Showdown made me a good amount, between the rewards in it + the affinity rewards, it's a great way to make stubs.
- Made WS and sold that
- Got 1000 stars in the 1st inning program and sold everything from that.
- Got 150 event wins and sold everything from that
- Got to gold 60 in xp level and sold everything sellable from that.
- Did some flipping on the market.
Congrats by the way!!

It's a marathon, not a sprint. You can still obtain these players just have to put in a little time, I am half way there and I think I have spent 100$ on the game. Selling Program rewards definitely helps and try avoiding packs, you can definitely get to Mantle as an average player without spending big or at all.
-
He will be obtainable for everyone as the year goes on. Most LS diamonds will fall in the 5-10k range.
-
Every time I’m tempted to buy stubs for Mantle I should just put down extra principal on my mortgage. I can easily afford him with my job as well, but I think I’d regret not earning him by playing.

No offense no way I am putting $100 extra towards the game.

Did you pull Trout? Without spending a ton of money or time flipping cards, I would think you would need to pull Trout, Bellinger and maybe another few high diamonds in order to do this. I could be wrong but Trout is over 200k stubs. I think Bellinger, Betts, Yelich, Arenado, Cole, DeGrom, Scherzer (probably missing some others) are all over 50k. That is a lot of stubs. I am almost silver 40 and my only live series diamonds are Yelich and Buehler. Currently sitting on like 75k.
Getting ready to get to 100 event wins. By then I will have around 35 packs to open and 16 ta packs. I'm not even thinking about collections unless I can pull Trout and at least one other high diamond player.

I tend to use the stub sale to stack up stubs, then if any of the big ticket guys drop in price a bit, say if a new SS comes out in a pack or something than I swoop in lol. Saves a bit more money for the bills lol
