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.

The point is 30 people all hit the ground running, and all were trying to do that at the same time. With a bunch of committed players, he was the best of us, by far. It wasn't even close.
It wasn't just spotting bargains. It was the way he chained one collection into the next one as efficiently as possible...setting a blistering pace, running laps around the rest of us as we fought for diminishing returns. All while somehow fielding a competitive enough team to rise through the ranks while barely even investing any PP into his roster.
I'm not saying time isn't a factor, of course it is. Literally any activity or hobby requires time to succeed. But to say "it's easy, anyone with enough time can do that" is just nonsense. This involved a ton of preparation & execution (i.e. skill).
