[censored] you! I bought that pack because of this post. Got Whitley (over Bart) sold him fast, $5k loss. LOL.

You should wait until the market go back to normal... Now is too late.

Yeah, I was worried about it falling lower and just trying to cut my losses. I am 1 card (Arenado) away from Mantle and have been scraping my stubs together. Got up to 75k before this flash sale. We'll see where I'm at after all 4.

I would say instead of buying the packs, put in some buy orders for some of the prospects and wait till later tonight/tomorrow to sell. You could easily turn the 75k into 95k pretty quickly

Just remember, his card is going to stay around that price probably for a while. Even when this stub sale ends, you have the live series event 2 days after. He is going to be the best card in that event so that alone could keep his price where it is at or possibly higher.

Snell only costs roughly 30k after collections. Do the moments plus collection and innings, you will get a semi final card to sell back for 30k. You will also get 9ish packs and balln is a habit. Not to bad imo

Pretty sure your math is way off. You get three cards for free, two of the quarter finals and one semi final. You still need to buy the other two quarter final cards and the other two semi final cards. That is approximately 75,000 stubs currently, and you won't be able to sell any of them. I do agree that the BIAH packs make this a little more worth while, and I'd definitely do it if it was closer to 50,000 stubs. But, 75,000k for what would be my fifth starter seems crazy. I mean, he'll be the first card to go once a better starter comes along.

No his math is all good, if you think about it in that perspective of just cost and not possible profit. All 6 of the cards youd end up collecting would cost around 90k. However you get two of the 85-86 for free and a 89-90 for free...so let's say you went out and bought all the cards, that costs you 85k. Then by completing the collection and finishing the program off, you get 2 of (7k each) 85-86 back, and a 89-90 (30k)... That brings the cost down to under 50k and that's not including stubs you get and the 6 standard packs + ballin is a habit pack...she at the end with [censored] pulls costs about 40k

Now how low would you drop his minimum fastball to? Because if he was throwing that fastball anywhere between say 97-102 like real life, thats gonna be possibly harder to hit in this game in my opinion. Fastballs/sinkers are way too fast in this game but I would rather sit on a fastball at 102 than see 98 70% of the pitches then all of a sudden see 102. Obviously its much more realistic, but I personally would have a harder time with that in this game
