<![CDATA[Starting May... Where are you at collection-wise?]]>For LS, I still need the usual suspects (Yankees, Guardians, Tigers, Royals, Mets, Dodgers, Diamondbacks). I did pick up Soto, Lindor and Ketel yesterday when prices dropped, but haven't locked them in.

I'm a few vouchers away from 95 Miggy, and miles away from 99.

I'm way behind compared to prior years. I might just focus on other collections and give up on LS unless I pull a Judge or Ohtani.

Where are you guys at at this point in the cycle?

It feels like you're not playing along with the game if you do that - you're ignoring all the Spotlights and collections so you can just keep hoarding for Shohei? Im NMS and have pretty much everything but Judge and Shohei - it feels kinda silly to even start saving for them.

Live Series completed about two weeks ago and Legends and Flashbacks done a few days ago.

I'm NMS but have had incredible fortune pulling both Ohtani and Judge from standard packs.

I wish I could gift Cabrera to someone with zero pack luck.
I do not enjoy him so he is already gathering dust.

Yes sir. I feel like everyone has had poo luck all year except a minority. For the amount of packs we’ve all opened (more than any year I can remember) everything even BIAHs are poo

It’s the sheer multitude of them quick selling into golds or 85 diamonds into stubs making the stubs, not big pulls

Yet

Hah

Last year was my first and i had zero pack luck all year.
This year started roughly, but I've done very well out of it over the last month.

I hope that luck gets shared around because I know how annoying it is to be chasing Live Series for many months.

Here are my sad details. I hope there are more like me that will chime in so that SDS can see how poorly they have managed game play rewards so far this year

I’m 25 away from completing AL. I’m 12 away from completing NL. (LS has been a priority for me)

I have 4 miggy vouchers. Not 4 away from completing, but 4.

You didn’t specifically ask, but I’m at 235k on the 2nd inning path. Hope to get Doerr. A boss is out of reach.

I have 64k stubs. I am offline only.

And yes, I’m a bit frustrated. 😃

Understand. Up until 3 weeks ago I grinded this a ton. Like I said many times, if you don't: pull Judge and/or Ohtani, flip, spend money or go on 10 win br runs you have zero chance to get this done by probably July or longer. I still need most of these diamonds: dodgers, pirates, dbacks and padres. I am just now where I can purchase Skenes but miles behind the Miggy collection at like 7 vouchers. When you have a 700k card to get and if you pull a diamond it is Fried, you just feel like you're going nowhere. Feels very unrewarding.

I saw Sam Adams get Ohtani then a few days later get a 50 pack with 4 diamonds including Marte and chase pack. In that week, he almost matched everything I got the entire year in regards to LS. I just laughed it was comical.

I have about $143k in stubs. Have 15/25 of the legend collections done. 4 or less missing in the rest. LS I need Judge, Jose Ramirez, Skubal, Witt, Lindor (waiting for him to drop, and Ohtani for live collection

Been a ton of no pack luck around a lot of these parts. I pulled Skubal this morning and it made me have faith in humanity again.

I’ve drawn nothing for a long time and a lot of miniseasons other than occasional Corbin caroll etc

I want to get the AL done first, because I want Felix. I got the biggest hurdle out of the way by packing Judge, but still ways to go.

I still need five more for 94 Jackie. I need 12 more LS teams although I'm not as committed to finishing this in a timely manner. It'll probably get done later in the year depending on how much I'm playing DD.
