Looks like some people can do it within a few minutes every drop

I know they claim it is because they have XP rewards lined up to finish off for different conquest maps and mini seasons playoffs, but it still seems weird.

Restarts every season. 2 Headliners packs for 750 PXP with 2B.

This isn’t a glitch is it? Takes one game for two Headliners Packs?

If these guys weren’t complaining about awesome Cardinals cards being in packs, they would be complaining there aren’t enough good Cardinals cards in the game.

So tonight I was trying to sell some Topps Now cards and saw some new strange activity. When I canceled my order and tried to enter a lower amount I was instantly under cut by 1 stub. The interesting thing was the number of orders. It was 150 orders 1 stub below mine entered in 125 seconds. When I lowered my order again it happened again. 150 orders in 125 seconds. This went on for at least 30 minutes. What is going on here? I've watched the bots get steadily worse for a year now but this is a new one to me.

The high numbers make me wonder if it isn’t SDS manipulating the market and their algorithm is messed up.

How could anyone else have 150 or 250 of any card to list instantly?

@DemIsE4_XBL you cry alot. The game is not hard to make stubs if you put the time in. Sorry you're lazy AF, and come here to complain about not getting the cards you want. I have not flipped at all, i'm a WS player, nothing great, 0 flawless runs (but i dont play BR), i've not pulled judge or shoehei. The game is rewarding if you know how to play. If you spend half the time playing as you do coming here and complaining you'd have all the cards you want.

I haven’t played BR, haven’t pulled Ohtani/Judge and I missed the entire first month with work. Finished Beltran day 1.

I only got Victor a few weeks ago to take it seriously and look at everything I was missing along with grinding the stuff I hadn’t worked on.

I think I’m 88-45 online or something. Have hit 1,000 rating once because I love Polanco.

Arenado has been insanely good for me. Seems like they changed his swing. He gets the authentic follow for through animation where Arenado really compresses and drives through the ball. Plays like a completely different card than the old Arenado cards IMO.

I’d say Arenado is right there with Miggy.

Where did the 92/93 Stanton come from again? I can’t remember but I think Weekend Classic?

@I23SAVAGE23I_XBL You don't or never have watched baseball buddy

That is not true, but I probably just wasn’t a fan of the entire Giants squad from the Bonds era, so I have negative connections to Kent.

You can’t argue that fans really cared about Kent in the 90s and early 2000s. He was an afterthought.

@I23SAVAGE23I_XBL Just seems like if I was running a business, and I wanted to see more "profit" I just stop recording the losses, but they still exist don't they?

It’s not that serious my guy. It really isn’t. Weirdo.

Your post is stupid anyways because there are no stakeholders such as the IRS or shareholders with the batting average versus the tree you’re barking up in your stupid reference.

You are just trying to pick a fight on a video game forum. Lmao

@eatyum_PSN said:

But.... is it really improving his average if it's all a lie?

Didn’t work anyways.

Sue me for wanting my Cole Carrigg to have a good average since I’m a Rockies fan.

@eatyum_PSN said:

Calm down weirdo.

I dash-boarded an event game because I don’t care about winning and had a fly ball in the air for a guy I wanted to see improve his average.

Still gives you the out, but when a homerun is dashboarded you never get credit. No big deal, just thought it was kind of funny that it’s a lose lose.

Okay, a bunch of people are gonna yell at me and call me names for this post....but, let me just talk to the experienced vets who have played for a while.

This Beltran collection is easy, right? This feels like "thanks for continuing to play this game and paying attention and not moving on to another game - here's your free Beltran." It doesn't feel like a tough endgame quest for a player that's been invested in the game since day one.

Don't really need Pujols, Tulo, or Felix. Don't need the Babe. Can skip two all star cards. Several other collections have skippable cards. Need Mookie and Leiter, but you could just skip those two collections.

This feels like, if you paid attention and scooped up cards during flash sales in the past like you should, you're pretty much set. If this collection was on your mind for long, you probably over-prepared.

Way easier than I anticipated. I was over prepared by about a million stubs.

I can actually try out Perdomo and McGee if I want, but probably not until they drop.

I’m assuming people willing to pay these prices did the mini seasons glitch.

Al Leiter is almost 500k. Imm seriously considering selling him and waiting for a flash sale

Probably not a bad idea. Even if you have to buy him back at like 250-300k in a couple weeks thats still a nice profit. Plus there has to be more signature cards coming.

I bought him originally for 181k. I can’t pass up on this much profit. I only need one voucher, so I’ll sell him and do the ASG collection when it becomes cheaper.

Edit: Just woke up and saw him at 840k… Holyyyyyy

I sold Simmons yesterday at 270k and he is 370k now. Not as bad as Leiter, but still hurts.

@DaddyDingerz_PSN said:

Just got Beltran and I’m no money spent. These big collections shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone at this point. Yes, it’s a lot to collect, but you should be collecting these cards through out the year. Try to obtain cards after flash sales and whatnot when market prices are down. If you wait until the day the collection reward releases and cards like Leiter are up to 500k that’s kind of on you.

100 percent. You have to build your collection when cards are down during flash sales, don’t open packs and do not overpay for the new shiny cards.

@Pergo_MLBTS said:

It's not even a paywall at all. Paywall means you have to pay money to access something. This does not require you to pay any money at all to get any of the rewards.

I haven’t spent money and didn’t start grinding hard until a few weeks ago to get Victor and I can unlock Beltran today.

Started out the day with 100k and ended at 900k selling the cards I didn’t use and doing conquest. Didn’t lock Perdomo, McGee, Leiter or Simmons. Locked Berkman.

Just need one Topps now card and Chapman/Albies when Weekend Classic Starts. Not too bad.

It is tough to not spend the 200k to grab Cease, Yamamoto and Topps Now Polanco to use Beltran now.

How high does Ted Simmons go? I bought him for 100k during the Vault Flash sale and let him go for 280k. He’s at 300k now.

Delgado is a much better player than Kent. He is only 7 homers away from 500, yet he isn't considered a "hall of famer" by the BBWWA. They really confuse me.

Positional Scarcity is a thing. Carlos Delgado doesn't have more HR than anyone who played his position.

You hit the nail on the head with positional scarcity.
