@Vipersneak said in What would you pay for Mvp Trout on the market?:

Plenty on here sold their soul to get Trout and will refuse to admit it was a mistake, which I understand. I am not immune from such decisions either.

Plenty of us just made wise decisions and got trout easily.

Hendricks is terrible for online play

Brock is easier to hit with. He’s 99/99 steal. He is practically free. And, when you do get his eventual replacement, you won’t feel bad for spending the massive amounts of stubs you spent on Rickey.

Both are great. Take one and buy the other. Rollins has more pop than his ratings suggest, and I’m hitting around .350 with Stan online ( and I’m not a great hitter )

I love J roll. His d is great and I hit better with him than his stats suggest.

Dont do it... I haven’t not spent a dime on stubs, yet here is my team:

C- biggio
1b - Musial
2b - Hornsby
SS - Rollins
3B - Sheffield
LF - 99 Trout
CF - Mantle
RF - Ruth

Take your time and grind. If you didn’t lock them up, sell inning bosses and use the money to get the gatekeepers of the LS.

One of the biggest keys is to complete the 300 of the inning within the 1st week of it dropping. You can usually sell the boss for 2-3x what they will eventually be. I sold walker and Harper for over 200k each. Used the money to get other players needed for my collections.

So. Helpful tip if you have a hard time on ANY hitting moment. Switch to directional, push upper left on d pad, swing power. Thank me later.

Love his bat flip on HR

Have any of you gotten to that point?

Yup. Raced through 300 this inning, sold Harper for like 225k, and then grinded Babe Ruth. Took about 8 days off after that

That swing is horrible. Shame because I always liked him as a player. Just too many good bats on that side of the infield. Do the player program for the inning points, then stash him for the daily challenge when it’s Orioles hitters.

I would say above. I usually tend to strike out at least 8-12 a game and have similar stats myself.

You can use these cards for 3 collection completion: postseason, 2020 postseason and the WS mission. They already dropped to 5-6 k a card. Lock them in, get your biah bundle, all the extra stubs and then whoever the final card would be with the WS program.

Options at 3B:
99 Tatis, 99 Sheff, FOTF Brett, lightning JRam, 94 or 99 Chipper

Options at 2B:
99 Tatis, Hornsby, wagner, lightning Didi

I use 94 chipper and 99 Shef at third mostly, preferably Shef due to strong arm and I use 99 Tatis at 2b(I have J roll at SS)

@MarinerMatt01 said in What happened with a commemorative Joe Morgan card?:

I think stage 4 of team affinities will be “Franchise all time greats” and Morgan will be for the Reds

No it won’t. The best player in the Royals, Phillies, and Padres history were released in TA3.

I think we could have a good argument between Schmidt and Carleton about best to wear the Jersey. Maybe they will put best player at opposite position, ie if it was a hitter for TA3, it would be a pitcher for TA4?

There was one for Whitey, Gibson, and all the others that have sadly passed this year. Why no Joe Morgan card still?

The only difficulty will be if these are prestigable players. It’s already much harder to find consistent games, and then to hope they aren’t top level players too.

@MarinerMatt01 said in Griffey Jr.:

I think the fall team affinity will be “all time greats.” or “postseason heroes” So I expect to see Griffey, Mays, Morgan, etc released there

Ooh. I hope so. I got tons of cards stockpiled to collect those final guys

Hoping he is 10th inning boss, but I’m starting to think they will have 1 last collection and he would be the prize

@DBBG1515 said in Stub Sale:

This is nuts. They market is already super inflated from all of the RIB pack cash and now this?!? Things are literally going to cost twice what they normally do. This must be to suck as much money out of people as possible for TA 4.

If you weren’t already prepped for TA4, it’s a bit late in the game. I think I have enough to complete 10 TA4 already, just within my inventory. I tend to buy up a lot of the rival cards for teams I want to complete during market crashes and then just hold them until needed. For example, I have at least 6 Kingman Prime, 6 Ozuna Topps now, and 12 Murphy and Keller FS, to name a few. Other good cards to stockpile for TA are Awards mccutch and Awards Sal Perez. They end up being 5k each, during crashes and each will complete 1 TA jump of 10 points.

All the catchers have either great d or a good bat. I haven’t really been overly fond of most of them. I use Biggio at C, since he has decent d and I like his quick swing and speed. I can’t hit consistently with Posey and I never got Torre. Foxx’s bat is great, so if you’re ok with blah d at C, he’s the guy.
