<![CDATA[April 24th Collection]]>I'm trying to remember how collections have gone in years past. Are we sure that Maikel Garcia will be a requirement for the collection? Or any chance they stop at Tatis?

I hate that also. Makes me so angry. Then i hit .500 with the worst cards in the game. Like wtf man! When I play someone in events and see marte with a bad average I throw meat balls. I cant have marte hitting bad on any team lol

Nah jokes aside tho Iā€™m sure he will turn it around. it just sucks that all the collection cards Iā€™ve used on my team pedroia, figgins, campy, Pujols, Felix, anibal all feel more worth it then ā€œthe big oneā€ havenā€™t used burnitz and singleton may have gotten 20abs so canā€™t judge those 2.

Heā€™s got till other 99s start coming out so atleast till asg. I know the problem Iā€™m just having a hard time adjusting. Heā€™s struggles with inside since his stance feels closed off. Righty righty inside sinkers is his antidote. Even when he catches up to anything tho itā€™s a late blooper over 1b or 2b. He has 3 hard hit balls for me they are 2 triples and a moonshot. His swing just feels slow I just have to get started earlier or go in pratice with tulo against a nasty sinker and just time up inside. Also probably doesnā€™t help I was swing happy at first with him and was chasing bad.

Yeah sometimes you just have bad luck with a very good card. I always try to get a 100 at bats with them before I decide if im just not good with a card. Live series tulo id probably give him 200 at bats.

Grab all the other cards you want. You dont need to finish live series to compete in this game. I did finish a few of the live series collections. Because i wanted marte, and chone figgins.

Garcia will be needed for future collections most likely, but by then the WBC cards should be more attainable. And there is usually one we can skip as well so hopefully that's the case again this year.

Cause it will be a 99 if I remember right. I wouldnā€™t mind seeing an Andrew jones if itā€™s a legend we have. If a unannounced legend posey or cargo could be cool if u wanna go even further back wouldnā€™t mind a magglio card I feel like itā€™s a of or catcher.

@JenkinMeyer_PSN I literally bought all the cards to get to Maikel... then changed my mind and just relisted them on the marketplace.
If we NEED them, I'll buy them back later.
But for the moment, I am fine to have the WBC the one that I skip. I just wish I didn't already go up to Tatis.

Thatā€™s kind of the way I approach it. Since Iā€™m a Cardinals fan Pujols is all I care about and so I know a Cardinal isnā€™t going to be the new collection

So, Iā€™ll just sit on those WBC cards or rent them past Tatis for TA then sell back. I usually do that before all collections anyway.

In past years I always always always buy weird cards in veteran or 2nd half or whatever series if I see them cheap and have extra stubs just to stash for the inevitable collection announcement then make bank

But for now itā€™s best to sell all WBC since I want LS completed, at least NL.

LS is ALWAYS a big part of future collections. WBC to be determined. The gap of number of cards between Tatis and Garcia is so so big and youā€™ll lose money if you save those cards and then they immediately lose half value once they announce you donā€™t need him for a collection. Make money now not later
