This Is Ridiculous

@GoozeFn_PSN at the same time ive been able to complete every other collection not spending that initial 500 to 600k on ohtani at the beginning. It works both ways. Id have live series done sure but I wouldnt have marte, Ramirez or miggy. Ohtani has never really been below 600k at any point this year. A ton of stubs either way. 600 or 900 at that point what's the difference. I would have saved myself 300k stubs over the course of 3 months. Thats nothing. My pack luck has been zilch. The choice is simple go after live series early or punt it. If you punt it, then you get to grab almost every other card you like or want to use. Maybe you were able to do both. You also pulled ohtani. And have had better pack luck. If your pack luck sucks. You should always punt live series.
-
@Ditka06-_MLBTS I bought Ohtani for 530. He was the first diamond I bought. Judge for 350. It doesn’t stop there. I got every gold and lower at quicksell. It adds up. When you finish the live series early, these other collections are a piece of cake.
-
@Ditka06-_MLBTS I had every card and millions invested long before I pulled Ohtani.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN ok ive done the same ive sold off and quick sold every gold card as well. 530 or 880k talking about 350k stubs over the course of 3 months.. not that drastic of a difference when you consider the time value.
-
Yeah, I never liked the common "always focus on live series first" advice. If you do that, you basically cant play along with any updates for the first two months - cause you cant buy anything. It feels like you cant play with the game.
If you're really focused on investing and selling high and buying low, you can have it all...but thats not easy, and probably requires a few lucky guesses
-
@rubicante23_PSN right. I dont do all the investing and my pack luck has been really bad. If i put up 530k for ohtani at the beginning I wouldnt have enjoyed the game. I have every great card in the game besides a few of the expensive chase cards and pujols and tulo. With 400k stubs in the kitty. If i purchased ohtani at 530k I wouldnt have that now.
-
@Ditka06-_MLBTS It’s more than that though because 350k can be turned into millions over a month or 2.
-
One thing to remember is the next collection is going to be Prince Fielder
Just buy cards you want to play with, don’t bother with collections. Don’t save a bunch of money for some 99 you’ll never use
-
@rubicante23_PSN Simply not true. The gatekeepers are some of the best players to use early and the collection rewards give you an advantage. There’s no trouble keeping up. Getting the expensive stuff out of the way early makes it easy to do these little collections as they come. Maybe listen to someone who’s done it this way for years, has every card and 5 mil in duplicates and not the people holding their empty pockets wondering why Ohtani is 900k.
-
I did the investing thing for the first time ever.
Invested 180k stubs (all I had), made it all back and 250k more. Definitely the way to go.
-
Game gets a lot easier with effort
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN VMart is going to be in my lineup for a long time.
-
Right on, just saying for others
-
I wish I had your patience!!

@capardo_XBL I really only do passive investing. Early I did a lot of silver to gold exchange until I finished the live series. Mostly on the app when I can’t play. Zero risk. I continued silver to gold exchange, but held the guys who were going up for the roster update. I have 100+ Yandy Diaz etc. Been holding for a long time. This game is all about knowing when to buy and when to sell. Rush to the boss, sell and buy back at the end of the inning. Earn the weekend classic pack, sell and buy back the rewind. Same for WS reward. Buy up Chase cards during the flash sale. It’s all about timing.
-
@capardo_XBL It’s easy to have the patience when you have the knowledge of how the market works and when you get ahead early by finishing the live series.
-
Thanks for the advice!! I have just started the silver to gold exchange. It’s profitable, but does take a bit of time.
-
@capardo_XBL It does, but it also allows you to get over the 20 card cap. Flipping is way more tedious.
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN VMart is going to be in my lineup for a long time.
I can’t imagine him not being in my end game lineup with his swing and attributes. Going to slap a fielding mod on him.

@capardo_XBL It’s easy to have the patience when you have the knowledge of how the market works and when you get ahead early by finishing the live series.
Also if you get the gatekeepers early, you can finish quicker. I got Judge and Shohei for like… 280 and 550? Or something like that.
