@pox911_psn said in Is there a max amount of stubs you can have?:
I’ll never reach it lol. But I’m asking because I frequently see tons of 5,000 stub buy orders on cards like Christy Mathewson that will obviously never go that low, and it seems like maybe people are using that to “stash” stubs if they have hit a max
Yeah you gotta hide stubs like George Jung ... or else they vanish past 5 million.
These are great grabs ... you are doing right by scooping close to quick sale value.
You can strikeout and still not come out losing that much, but if you hit, it will be a good hit for you.
If they don't get upgraded, don't panic ...maybe buy more.
Good job!
@yankeefan412_xbl said in Valenzuela:
I just don’t think he was a good enough player to get multiple good cards. He had a great 5 year run but only won 1 cy young & isn’t a hall of famer. Very solid player but just not elite.
I don't think Jasson Dominguez should get a card.
@writetoshawn_psn said in Valenzuela:
I’m not an avid collector, so I usually only obtain the best card of a player (i.e. if I get a 99 Mantle, I’ll sell the lower versions).
Do you guys think a higher-rated Fernando Valenzuela will come out this year at some point?
Yes Fernando will get a Signature ... count on it. Too much money involved with Dodger fans.
I would pay 5 million for a Fernando signature. How about the a No Hitter card?
@ironeyes_cody_psn said in Fall off:
Don't know about this game, but in FIFA the participation level drops by over 50% in FUT by the 3rd month after release. Many reasons, but a lot is just player burn out. Too much of the same-o same-o.
What do you believe the fall off would be here. Someone recently mentioned there could be as many as 50+ 99 Diamond cards within a couple months. Does that excite or scare you away?
I'm in it until at least New Years, I like to collect all the cards.
Madden and 2K weeks, big drop offs .... but is that a bd or good thing?
Awesome!!! Great stuff - I would like a collection where every single card is required.
The Future Stars 1987 Bo Jackson is a must
Kevin Mitchell 1986 Topps ...IDK why
1989 Billy Ripken Fleer haha

Have 12,000+ completed orders - 26 pages of sell now stuff going back a month and a half. Made like 50k today not even turning on the game.
Okay well I lost three RS games in a row and made twice that.
I don't want to go over 5 million this weekend .... I need to stash about 1 million into Mike Trout Cards at 250k tonight like George Jung in the movie Blow.
0-0 Ranked record and every WR and BR card x2
those 450k on trout are mine
Haha ...yeah I saw a video of someone going over 5 million. Nope. Have to stash here and there.
The only moment I haven't finished this year is the Gary Carter 5 XBH in 3 games. I don't play online so I came into the season telling myself I was going to do every moment this year.
It's not fun at all .... I really rather play a 9 inning game vs CPU and parallel players than do moments for 1 hour.
It really makes you want to stop playing the game for a while.
Ive been getting about 10 - 12k vs CPU on All-Star (9 innings) since launch. I only play on All-Star offline.
Is that good or bad?
I did finish the 650k for the 3rd inning in a week because I was SuperFractoring a couple rewards pitchers playing vs CPU on All-Star.

@bodamescapeplan said in How many cards of each series do you have?:
After the Headliner Pack dropped, I picked up a ton of the cards I didn't bother buying at full price and with most of them dipping incredibly low. Of course, I did this with the mega collection that we'll undoubtedly get down the line in mind and it made me curious to think what everyone elses collections look like to this point.
Here's mine:
- Live: Complete
- The 42: 35/42
- Milestone: 14/21 (gonna buy Paxton soon)
- 2nd Half Heroes: 19/30
- Prospects: 21/41
- Prime: 12/14
- Awards: 11/18
- Signature: 3/7 (going to pick up Longoria soon)
- Topps Now: 55/64
- POTM: 24/26 (just missing Eovaldi & Tom Murphy)
- Future Stars: 15/18 (missing Puasson, Rutledge and Mazara)
- Rookie: 34/41
- Breakout: 26/28
- All-Star: 45/58
- Veteran: 42/46
- Postseason: 25/29
The card collecting part of this game is why I play
All the sets 100% including 2 of each BR and WS cards. All non live series diamonds 3 of each, non live series gold 10 of each, non live series silvers 25 of each, and every non live series bronze 50 of each.
Every gold card as of today from 80 - 84 ...100 each including Trevor Story, some like Musgrove and Grisham 300+ each.
I do play the game also ... Have 4 Superfractors - and Chip, Ortiz, Soriano, Finley to level 4.

I read this thread and keep thinking most of you guys are probably not married, right?
I'm married, 40 years old and retired ... my daughter just completed 38 credits of college a year after graduating high school during the pandemic. My son plays Varsity Basketball for his HS.
2.5 million today was sweet - can chill for a bit. Haha
Any tips on who to invest in going forward?
Buy today - anyone who didn't get an upgrade, buy 3 cards at a time, don't try to buy 50 at a time or someone will outbid you quickly and you wasted time posting.
Scoop as many cards the next two weeks.
Make extra stubs on the side selling gold equipment ...buy 3 sell 3.

Made 2.5 million today here is a video https://twitter.com/HonRonBaseball/status/1408521450345025537?s=20 (Skip to 1:!5)
I like to play the market in this game, invest, and flip.

Al Focking Liter is numero uno
@earths-flat_xbl said in Question about the Community Market:
What cards are usually best to invest in, BR/Events/RS? Thanks in advance.
Yeah BR and WR. I try to get 2 of each.
In 3 months you will make bank. Buy low sell High is the name of the game.
Also try to stack up on any Topps Now cards for the Monthly rewards.
