<![CDATA[Don't sweat collections, lads]]>You'll see people parading their Victor Martinez like it's some sort of life affirming trophy.
It's not.

You'll see the same people acting like they're superior for having him straight away.
They're not.

I have him.
Why? Because I got 2 x Judge and 1 x Ohtani early and I have played way too much.
That's why.
I'm not special, i'm not smarter, I just got lucky and so did everyone else who has him.

Anyway, just wanted to put this out there because I know there will be a lot of FOMO today and I hope most can see through the [censored] and just let it come to them naturally rather than feeling obliged to spend their hard earned on this game.

Granted, i'm not your usual "must use every meta card for fear of being at a slight disadvantage" type, but Cabrera 99 never plays for me, and Tulo is used very rarely.

Honestly, you don't need either to be competitive.

I've completed 15 Live series teams and will wait on ALL of the BIG ones and for collections. Dont need Tulo or Albert, OR 99 Miggy and Victor, when lesser cards play just as well. Plus, 3 of those 4 guys are slow as heck and clog up the bases! Save your stubs until these prices go down.

Sadly, you're in your feels because you are exactly the type of person i referred to in the OP and you know it.

I don’t think it’s people playing victim necessarily but more like they see brand new shiny Collection players that opponents have - all with like 12 AB.

Meaning they’ve freshly completed their collections magically

Therefore - they’re the obvious cheaters

I have Victor and I have not been lucky at all. HOwever, I have grinded my [censored] off. And no, I did not do the pack glitch in the WBC mini season. I did grind the New Threads mini season like crazy though. So much so I have nearly 8 or 9 Number 1 fan objectives done. Also to say people are parading a card is pretty goofy. If you earn it, you have the right to play with it. FFS. Everyone out here playing victim.

The only card of value i got out of those (not got the final pack yet) was Garret Crochet, because i hadn't needed to lock mine in, so yeah, pretty underwhelming for most it seems.

It's very disappointing

I know I won't have him any time soon just because I still need the 2 gate keepers for LS, still don't have 99 Miggy and for that matter I haven't even finished the WBC collection lol. And I'm totally fine with not having him yet just because I have the other V-Mart card and Posada for that matter

I'm in the same boat, just trying to finish the WBC collection now, going after Turang, after that I should be able to do it. Finally tried the showdown yesterday and actually had a bit of fun with it other then the lag, I normally hate showdowns.

Update

Got Turang

I just need Judge to finish the live series and five more egg hunt cards to get 99 Cabrera so for now I'm staying focused on that. I'm so far away from Martinez that I'll probably still be working on him whenever the next part of the legends and flashbacks collection gets here anyway.

I just need Judge now to. Waiting for his price to come back down to where it was before. Yesterday was such a crazy stub making day. I ended up making close to 700k without even really trying. Once I see where I'm at after buying Judge I'll start to focus on 99 Cabrera.

‘95 Cabrera? Huh?

‘99 Martinez might as well be on another planet.

(that’s how far behind I am on all these big collections). 😂

I have only 87 of 142. Sad.
I also think that my console has been infected with the 'curse of the dupes.' That doesn't help at all. It also doesn't help to pull the TN card in the Spotlight packs 98% of the time. It's an utter joke. Pack luck has blown all season for me, as if i lived in the Windy City.
I told myself to just remember that as an offline player, it's not that crucial to have the Marte, or J-Ram. V-Mart is now here, and he is miles away like the Winger and Tesla songs, lol
