@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.

I can not get on the Market from pc at work

Oh no you might have to actually work. Lol jk I'm at work and got kicked off the market too. Sucks

Double ditto, lol

I paid 230k for him a couple of days ago so that I would have every card. Had to suck it up a bit, lol. I learned a lot my first year playing last year. Will remember this for next years game!

I got 220 73 overall players from each division three wks ago. Got most of it done. It’s all about your patience level and stub count at this point.

To see the best current players to get go to https://showzone.io/

I went from 75” Samsung 4K TV to 20” 5 yr old monitor. It was worth it, but I had it sitting in a spare room. I couldn’t catch up to a BGibson fastball to save my life. Got the Kontrol Freak controller tips, tried game mode on Samsung, then wired connection, then the monitor - monitor was the biggest jump.

What are you playing on?

Last year I went to wired internet on a monitor for online play and the game felt like it was in slow motion compared to hdtv on wifi.

@jkooch66_xbl said in POTM needed for any collections later??:

I'm wondering if it's safe to sell all of my May Topps Now cards because I would much rather have the stubs than Semien, or if I might need them or Semien himself for a collection down the road? I haven't played DD in a while so I don't know what to expect. I've already finished the Monthly Awards collection for Mariano, and I can use silvers and cheap golds for the Mariano Topps Now collection so those aren't a factor. I'm specially curious about whether I'll need the Topps Now diamonds and/or Semien for collections later. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Honestly flip them. They are so active they’ll pay for themselves pretty quickly.

I’m hoping/preparing for a Parallel (Level 5) Player Collection. I have two - Tatis & Hader - trying to get three more over next few weeks.

And maybe one where you have to Parallel one player from each collection (Breakout/Future Star/Second Half) to Level 1.

@SaveFarris_PSN Wasn’t the Trout Collection in July?
