Wow, for all the years I have played The Show, I FINALLY got to a point where I have every single card out there. It feels freakin' good!!!
Until 12 pm CT time LOL
So I mean, no flex but I have pretty much every high end card in the game. There are certain players whose swing I just love. LS Acuna is a beast for me for example. I don't hit that well with Reggie but I have hit well with him in previous versions of The Show. I rake with Delgado and Ruth. Can't hit with Frank Thomas , Utley, or Michael Young.....All these top rated cards and yet probably the best swing I have used is Charlie Blackmon. His Rockies City Connect program card just hits everything, and hard too.
Low key one of the best cards I have ever used. Even with a 96 OVR team.
Just crazy what the right swing can do in this game.
I feel this need to have every card, LS and non-LS. I dunno why, since I don't even like to use most of them....And I don't need a lot of them for the big collections. I already have Brett and I am still buying Springer, Longoria, etc. It's some OCD or compulsion or something from when I was a kid collecting real cards.
I hate that there are cards I can't get, like the silver Melancon, and Realmuto
Yup Had him since he dropped. Great card. I just don't use him as much because Gary Carter is my favorite player of all time. Still, that 96 Mauer has a great swing

Honestly, I haven't kept track but probably about $600. But I also had some great early pulls. For some reason during early access, I was pulling the rare LS cards like crazy.....a few DeGroms, Acunas, 2 Trouts, a few Tatis', and like 6 Scherzers...I found that spending early on the game you can really build a stub stack. And I wasn't actually bragging or flexing. I was sharing my genuine happiness , as someone who has been a collector for years. I am in my 50's and I grew up without much $$$ so when my Dad would get me a pack of cards (back then it was pretty much Topps - then some Fleer and later on Donruss), I'd be soooo happy. Some of my best memories are sitting in the car opening a pack, pulling any Met (Mets fan, grew up in Brooklyn, NY), and sharing that awful stick of gum with my Dad... And for me to actually complete a team collection and then ultimately somehow the entire series, was huge for me. Doing it digitally now that I am providing a better situation financially for my kids, gives me a thrill. It's really not a flex. Just my joy. Don't mean to offend anyone either way. I wish you alll the ability to get every card you want, truly I do. Cheers to all who were kind with their responses and to those who weren't, it's cool. No hard feelings. Enjoy The Show and I hope you get whatever cards you want.

@nygxnymxfan68_xbl said in Has Doc Gooden or Darryl Strawberry ever been in The Show?: Would love that as well but I don't know if they'd ever put those guys in the game. Funny thing is Keith Hernandez has been in the game, and as a Met, and he probably did as much coke as either Doc or Straw. It's a shame because man those cards could be fire You're really comparing Keith Hernandez's alleged use of a recreational drug to Doc and Darryl's legal troubles? Might want to take a quick look at their criminal history and you'll understand why they likely arent in the game and Keith is.

I have an inside track on Keith's escapades. As far as domestic violence and Doc's use of prostitution, those are what set them apart (in that they got busted and it was public news). I love Keith, best fielding 1B I ever saw, one of the best hitting approaches I ever saw, and I've been watching , playing, and coaching baseball for 45 years. But he was no saint and his addiction, carousing, and temper was widely known back in those days. There have been illegal drug users, men who have committed domestic violence, Aroldis is in the game. Pudge has been in the game , I could go on and one with guys who committed the same offenses as Doc and Darryl. And don't think for a second that Keith just had "recreational" use of drugs/amphetamines. There are things I cannot speak of but people know......Just saying there are the same or worse offenses so it may be more than just those things keeping these 2 guys from showing up in MLB The Show
I find that if I wanna rack up XP against the CPU, I just play the Rockies with Freeland pitching. Expect pitches up in the zone and you can hammer them

@jaycruise21_psn said in Woo Hoo , I now own every single card in the game (for now): I think it's the principle of the matter. It's less about how someone spends their money, and more about understanding what an actual accomplishment is per se. Especially as gamers, we are more impressed with actual gameplay or dedication/time put into something. Once someone literally buys a chunk of the progress, we do not care anymore. I think stating how much it cost in the beginning might have gone over better with everyone. I think the issue is that a person isn't being allowed to be proud of something because other people feel like it was something so easy that anyone can do it. I say so what? If a person is happy about something that isn't hurting others then good for them, and it's ridiculous to see others belittle them over it.

FYI, I've gone 12-0 and 2 yrs ago I was always around WS. I have been friendly with some of the best players in the game. I don't need to flex and this was not a flex, I thinkk I made that clear in my OP. I don't have the time in my life to grind like I used to and I play for fun now , not to go 12-0 or get my rating above 900. I could care less if you're salty about my post. That says more about you than it does about me. Not even sure why you've spent so much time and energy responding to this thread and the people who are commenting on it.
Finished it a while ago but honestly I don't use a lot of the reward cards much anymore. Can't hit with Frank Thomas, Hate Utley, Big Unit is great though.

In Koufax's prime, he was the best pitcher I ever saw. No one was ever more dominant.

Great thing about really good colleges is that you can do really well and be successful afterwards...pay off your student loans....and then have disposable income to spend on hobbies and passions....such as MLB The Show. Amazing how that works, isn't it? SO yeah, I went from growing up in the low income housing projects in Brooklyn to a good college to having expendable income to be able top spend a bit on things like The Show and other hobbies , nice things for my kids, etc. So again I ask - what does anyone have to say about what I do with my money?....I worked hard to get where I am, I have the right to do whatever I want with it,. If people are jealous and salty about it, that says more about them than it does about me. Like I really care what people think LMAO.
Have it but haven't used it yet. In the past I have always liked his swing. Maybe I will give it a shot later today
@dlgltal-athlete_psn said in LS collection complete:
@samguenther1987 said in LS collection complete: Finally done, time to try out Randy Johnson and Clemente. Happy this is over. Nice. I just can't seem to pull the trigger on some of these over-inflated 90+s. I know I'm not paying for them; I'm paying for Randy, Frank, and Roberto. But still. If this Diamonds don't come down ALOT; this may be the first year that I don't complete the LS Collection.

That's why I aggressively pulled packs and went to buy those LS cards right at early access. Invest a few eral $$ at the beginning of the game and you can be set for cards and stubs for the rest of the year. Early on, first week or so, I pulled Trout, DeGrom 4x, Tatis 3x, Acuna twice, Scherzer like 5 times, etc. Bought a few more. They inflated and then was able to sell for big profit Had the LS completed like the 2nd day of the game's worldwide full release.
