Some other tips outside of the effective strategies of flipping and grinding:

• Sell XP and Multiplayer bosses as soon as you get them. Even if you want the card the prices will continue dropping until the end of that XP Inning.
• Do NOT buy any packs in the Shop.
• If you want Live Series, avoid other collections. Unless you are elite at the game, grinding, flipping, you will have to pick a direction to focus on.
• Sell any weekend classic bosses you happen to win and get the card when they are in a Rewind Pack.
• One other disciplined approach you can do, tho this is more effective at the start of the year, but any live series collection cards worth more than say 5k stubs, that you don’t absolutely need to play with, sell for the highest amount and save your stubs to buy during flash sales.

For example, for me my fav player is Jose and love playing with McCutchen, so I kept Ramirez and Skenes. Any other time I got a lucky pull I sold them. This made the difference between getting say Acuna at 20k compared to 40-50k early on. It adds up big time.

If you want to see the bots at work, at this very moment you can put a bid in for 57k on Alex Bregman and it will stay at the top. If you delete it you will see 2 bots instantly outbidding each other by one.

I played with it and if I put a bid in for 55k it instantly went to 55,001 and up and up. I tried it again at 55,500 and same thing. It wasn’t until I got to 57,000 that the bots stopped. They are programmed to stop at certain margin points.

I kept doing it to watch the blatant bots usage. I’d delete my bid and watch them go active. Then put it back at 57,000 and then watch all of their bids start deleting.

This is a joke. Others have said this and I agree, I would much rather the marketplace on the app get shut down temporarily and allow SDS time to ban account and make fixes than to watch this happen. Something has to be done.
