I'm sorry this happened to you.

I'm picking up a hint of sarcasm. I'm ok with it though.

Not really sarcasm. More exaggeration.

This person does sound terrible, and also terribly boring. I was wondering why you decided you wanted to share this incredibly stupid thing someone said to you, instead of maybe something like a story about someone interesting.

I find it a bit humorous to be honest. Sorry it doesn't meet your hi standards and isn't as entertaining as you would like. I hope you can scour through the forum and find something to amuse you more than boring old me.

I see a lot of people saying "I bought a 50 bundle I should've gotten a diamond"

Not necessarily, pack odds are all about probability at random, not per every 50 packs. So each pack has its own odds.
100% of the time you will pull at least a bronze

Diamonds are 1 in 50, meaning you have a 2% chance of pulling a diamond on any given pack. I would assume that within that 2% there is an undisclosed probability on low Diamonds 85-89 compared to high diamonds 90+ so the odds of pulling a Trout are more likely to be 1 in 25 or worse out of that 2%

It's all math, and each pack is random regardless if you buy 1 or 1000, and the house always wins.

Here's the real issue-

Hes trying to hit for the cycle, announcer "Mookie Betts coming to the plate, 0-4 for the day"

I've never been able to really get card flipping down until this year. I played franchise and road to the show all last year. In '18 I worked the exchanges. This year I tried my luck with card Flipping and have had a lot of success. I see a lot of people on here asking advice and others not wanting to give up secrets.

My advice, there is no real secret. Just pay attention to the market, watch the margins, and be patient. Its pretty simple when you get it going. Just takes some time to build up a bank.

Best of luck to you all.

Got the 6 pack reward for the Rays, pulled a Yelich in pack number three. I was happy and content. Then in pack six...

American League

Centerfield

TROUT.
Seriously going to buy a lotto ticket next time at the gas station.

@jmcdonald1817 said in Smart buying and selling:

Because people don't want to 1 stub, by the time you do there's 20 bids in front of it, people want to make stubs quickly, this is why people do it the way they want to. Nobody wants to just get in line and wait for hours. Sorry, its not going to happen your way.

Exactly, I know what I want to make off certain cards. If a card isn't moving quickly I know the margin to turn a profit. I'm not sitting on 75+ sell orders to be outbid by a few stubbs. If I lose 5-10 stubbs per card so be it. I will flip it twice as fast and have better productivity in the long run.

24-25. I'm ok with it, first year playing online.

@dantheranman said in Vices/Hobbies beyond DD:

Kids, wurk, homeownership. DD is my only hobby these days

People just don't understand the work in homeownership. Finishing a remodel on our guest bathroom has cut into my time playing DD for sure.

Also tough with a 10 month old and a 3 yo.

Who all got Mookie, and still made a profit yesterday/today? I somehow sold Vlad Jr for 248k early yesterday and bought him back for 196k. Also scooped up Jansen milestone, Vida milestone, Justice, and Paxton milestone with 250k left.

Lets here your market wins and show some positivity.

@BearDownGoBlue said in power swing or normal swing ?:

Other than single at bat moments, I use normal swing nearly 100% of the time. Once in a while in a 3-0 or 3-1 count I may power swing at something right down the middle. Power swing shrinks your PCI quite a bit and I need all the help I can get in that department. Normal swing generates plenty of power IMO.

I'll power swing in 2-0 or 3-0 counts. Especially with my better hitters.

@fludikus said in TA3... who looks worthy of going after??:

Im liking the Killebrew bat. Brett looks solid. Any others you like that will fit into your lineup? There aren’t many cards that are overwhelmingly good. Thoughts?

I've got the cards to finish out the Yankees and get Donnie Baseball. He's not that great of a card but huge Yankee fan and have to finish it before the others out of principle. Then I'll get Killebrew for sure. After that it just depends on how the rest of the cards look.

@jz2016cubs said in I need some advice.:

I am currently sitting at 37,900 stubs. I have contemplated buying the 50 pack bundle instead of the flash sale.
Pros: I don’t just get a possible diamond, but other cards that I can exchange. I get a ballin is a habit.
Con: I might not get a diamond.
Note: I already bought one of the two headliner packs, so that was 7,500. I haven’t opened them yet. Advice?

Never buy packs

I repeat never buy packs

Small sample size, but one game-
7 innings
18 k's
0 runs
3 hits

He is nasty. Glad I finished TA 3 and got him.

@Ikasnu said in Packs are bad:

Meanwhile I've purchased 10 in the last week. Pulled Yates, McKay, Molina. Then got Cole out of a TA pack. Buy packs.

Can't hate on your pack luck man. Kudos to you!

@MrGamebred said in Remember the 15k headliner flash sale:

Im kicking myself for locking in the postseason set. Had duplicates of Bench, Foulke, Murray, and Mathewson I picked up for CHEAP. locked in the postseason set before realizing we didn’t need all the sets and all I needed was 1 more prestige card and it was just 20 innings with Mo.

Still happy I had the dupes to cash in on but can’t believe I didn’t pay attention and left 200k more stubs on the table like that. I had all of the semi final players league cards, i bought around 9k and flipped for just over 2k profit each. If I could've held out one week...although I can't be too mad because I made around 200k yesterday when the announcement broke

There are so many cards I had just last week that I'm kicking myself about.

@Scarletgospel said in How Come?:

I'll go sentence by sentence. @GixxerRyder750

1 - Yes, there is.
2 - I didn't ask for information that was readily available.
3 - If you know how to infer information, you would clearly be able to infer that I'm not from a European nation. Otherwise, why would I ask since it actually says it in-game? Are you suggesting I can't read? That's very rude of you.
4 - I don't know, is he?

I hope you don't get a discount, [censored].

Finally finished up the Trput collection this morning. Now to finish of the rest of TA, I've got about 1/2 to 100% The rest are in stage 3. When finishing up Mantle & Trout I sold 4 of the FOTF, should I buy them back on the off chance there will be a collection reward other than a BiaH bundle? I sold Brock, Schmidt, Dawson, and Brett.

It's out for a month, so you want to beat it in two days?? Then all the XP you earn goes to nothing. Yea it can be a grind, if you make it one. Do the conquest, daily missions, and then either ranked or the USA map. You get 5 cards per division that will get you around 12-15k stubbs. Plus a 10 pack bundle when you're done. They're going to release a showdown, once August starts there will be new evolution cards, and new player programs. There will also be some more collections added in too.

First off, bravo SDS, the app is great. It runs smooth and has a great layout. I really like that you can place an order then the price stays and you can simply suit the same order quickly. It is easy to navigate as well.

Only gripe so far is The constant refractor on the cards, its cool the first few mins but starts to get annoying after a bit.

I just wanted to drop $200 for $400 worth of stubs to buy packs

Are you online casuals really spending that much on these stubs?

Must suck to be a peasant

Dude please, my computer is worth more than your car.

Yea well my dad is stronger than your dad.
