Thank you.

@mallomardestroyr_psn

Thank you.

So the math shakes out that you get more from the gold than the, whatever, 5 silvers you needed for the gold?

@Thongypu_PSN

Thank you.

The idea is that people pay premiums because they need to complete collections but can no longer get these bosses by grinding?

First-time poster here...

What is the best approach to get the final 10 or so top live-series diamonds? I've been saving up for the 75-pack-plus-chase even though I know 98% of the cards will be dupes, obviously hoping for at least a couple of the missing diamonds. Is this approach misguided? Should I instead just take a brute-force approach and buy directly? Just don't want to waste stubs.

Longtime MLBTS franchise player, first year truly playing DD.

Just wondering if Ichiro ever gets a card in DD. I get why we do not see Sosa, McGwire, Clemens, etc. but wondering if I will see one of my favorite players in the past 20+ years.

He had one in the past, but its been awhile. Maybe they lost the license on his name

He had a card until he retired. Don't expect him this year. Maybe in another year or two.

Ah, ok. Bummer. Thanks for the responses.

So SDS has to negotiate with each retired player? There isn't a retired-player group of some kind?

@pscrabro_psn said in Why Buy Orders Under Quick Sell?:

It's an investment strategy... if you place 50 buy orders on a bronze card before it gets upgraded to silver... your 50 buy orders will stay active and people will end up selling them. Not sure why SDS doesn't eliminate it... but it has always been like that.

Sorry, not following. Can you explain? As I alluded to, first time really playing DD after many years as a franchise guy.

@blind_bleeder said in Why Buy Orders Under Quick Sell?:

Those orders were placed when the card had a lower OVR. The system won’t let you place a bid lower than the QS price.

Ah, that makes sense. Ty.

For all intents and purposes, playing DD for the first time, including trying to be smart about buy/ sell orders. Why do players place buy orders for less than quick-sell values? Are they just trying to trick someone into selling for under quick sell?

@dannydevito8997_xbl said in Who do I use in the outfield?:

Thats where my head is at also. However I have had Judge hose down guys from way out there and although that may come into play far less than the Lefty killing of Castellanos it is something to consider.

Fair enough. I do get nervous when solid-contact hits go to RF with Castellanos out there.

.

I have a lot of the same players, including ROTY Albert, LS Judge, MS Castellanos. Like you, I have Albert at 3B. I'm going with Castellanos in RF simply because 125/125 v. L with decent vision is too tough to pass up. Lol.
