The other side of the game - generating PP - can have a far larger impact, especially with regards to collections.
And it's not just about spending a lot of time on the AH. It's more about being thoroughly prepared with the right data, having the vision to map out a plan, and executing the plan in a highly organized fashion. And doing it better than 29 other highly committed, very active owners. That is most the impressive part.
Writing this off as just "spending a lot of time in the AH" might help people feel better about their own shortcomings, but it's just not the truth.

Maybe I'm grossly underestimating how difficult it is to come up with this plan since it all seemed pretty obvious, but at the end of the day generating PP does come down to time on the AH. I have put a ton in myself to do all of these collections, refreshing minute after minute while idling the game. Every under-priced Appling, Faber, Aaron, Baker, Averill, Hiller, Colavito, etc that you are around refreshing the AH for is an instant 60-80K. You can know that the missions are profitable but if you are someone who just checks in when you get home from work you will never see all the cards you need listed.
