Lightning reward for collecting Didi, Correa, Bellinger, Paxton, Tatis Jr. & JRamirez. Collections < Legends & Flashbacks < Lightning Collection

I bought a lot of packs hopefully to exchange for TA4. Was milling around the-show-zone and I saw that bronze Alexander Vizcaino & Ryan Vilade each were in high demand. I sold 3 Vizcaino's for 6.8k altogether (2.5k, 2.5k, 1.8k). If you have a minute today, check for these in your collection.

@The_DoctorsWife said in Preparing For Stage 4 Team Affinity:

When is Stage 4 supposed to be released?

Best hypothesis I've heard so far is 9/22 - start of Fall.

I vote Feller, but I also can't catch up with the high fastball on HOF to save my life.

Whoever has it listed has to be thinking...it only takes 1, lol

I'd add 98 Awards Gagne and look to move Ruth to 1B for defensive purposes. Maybe give 97 Awards McCutcheon a look - I hit well with him - but I can't hit w/J.D., we're all different.

I have 99 Wagner/99 Rivera/97 Chapman and Gagne has outperformed them for me...granted that is tied to my ability and pitch selection.

If you're playing online I'd consider working on the Jackie Robinson path, far easier to get him after they added that #42 conquest map - would be a diverse piece off your bench, utility guy, can pinch run.

I'd consider knocking out June Monthly Awards for Bellinger too. Can be done 100% offline.

This lines up when players are playing the most. So it would be 7-11 PM EST imo. Gets the West Coast in too. So more players are earning cards and quick selling them to fulfill your buy orders.

Far more buy orders are placed during the early part of the day when users are at work, etc. Then they're fulfilled in latter half of the day.

Best time for flipping? Honestly, if you look at how many sell per a minute and work 30+ different cards at the same time you can make a profit anytime. I used to look to make 100k every 3 hrs. I stay away from the most active items and find a niche and go. Ten equipment items in one browser, refresh them every 15 minutes and usually Gold LS that have the best profit.

Yes, toggle to "Not Owned" - Can look at all teams at once.

No sir. I plan on taking my stubs to my grave...thank you very much.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Final HUGE Collection Thoughts ???:

I strongly doubt it will be an added voucher towards getting Mo, Betts & Kershaw. Especially with many already having completed the 15 vouchers needed for the 3 of them. I just fiinished the final voucher for Kershaw 3 days ago & already have him at P2.

I do however think this final HUGE collection will consist of Finest cards because its the ONLY card class that does not have a collection for it this year. I also think many are reading into the word "HUGE" within the wrong context. This collection is mostly like going to be "HUGE" in regards to it's prize card to complete it rather then the quantity of cards needed to complete it. Only cards left are those from Finest Pack editions (1, 2, 3 & 4 if it gets to 4) & the reward cards from TA5.

Thats my take on this. What's yours?

Lightning also does not have its own collection as it has in past years.

Can Anyone confirm the Greg Maddux TA4 leak is real

Yes, it was shared on the MLB The Show FB page last night.

@schwizzle_nizzle said in Is Ohtani worth it?:

I like him. He was the fastest card I got to parallel 5 too. Pitching and hitting. It's crazy. I only had like 24 homeruns with him when I hit P5 from all the points from complete games and 20+ strike outs per game. LOL

Funnest part of owning him is watching how fast the XP counted up!

Last year I struggled to complete collections 'til I watched YouTube videos on flipping by Ance Larmstrong.

I made my Watch List my flipping list. Since the Rivera collection dropped I've been flipping all the gold legends/flashbacks daily w/o really much effort. By this I mean I'll put in 5 or so buy orders a day and sell whatever buy orders went thru previous day.

Since the Mookie collection I added the low Milestone players (CBiggio/JFamilia/BHamilton). There are far more efficient flippers out there as far as stubs gained per transaction for sure.

& I also got two Trout pulls this year!

I put in an order a few days ago just to maintain having every card. Cancelled that one and moved to the back of the line. Good luck.

I’ve been wondering when Biggio will drop myself.

Ryan Braun 2011 MVP - Probably not with his 2nd half card already out.
Miguel Cabrera Triple Crown
Ian Desmond Silver Slugger

I was trying to figure out all this the past few days. Spent way too many stubs on diamond sponsorships & unlockables til I noticed the number wasn't changing.

Thank you guys!

I've seen some mentions about TA4 the last few days and got me thinking what dropped last year in the first week of August:

https://www.operationsports.com/babe-ruth-and-the-all-timers-program-nice-win-for-offline-folks/

"The final reward in the All-Timers Program is the 99 overall MVP Babe Ruth. But there are three other high-rated cards you will earn along the way as well: 95 overall Gold Glove Evan Longoria, 96 overall Signature Series Trevor Hoffman, 99 overall Cy Young Tom Seaver."

Anybody else wondering if it will come back this year? Any suggested changes?

@jkooch66_xbl said in Prices up tomorrow, right??:

I've been collecting flashbacks/legends for the past month or so getting ready for the new collection, I have everything less than 50k. I'm confident I'll have everything needed for day 1, but worst case I'll be a few short on Awards, Sig, Prime, and Milestone. I have around 250k stubs right now.

I'm thinking of just spending the rest of my stubs for 4-6 guys in the 50k-60k range. If I don't end up needing them, there's no way they'll lose value, right??

You're in no-mans land until the size of each collection required is revealed. If its less than 50k-60k range, for that collection, then some will be dumping the players that cost that much and their price will plummet. If more then they'll go up. I chose to invest in all of the legends that were 15-20k and under because I'm certain they'll be required. Good luck - if I had 250k sitting around ... it would be invested in gold & up legends/flashbacks right now.
