Collections are especially strong for new teams as well: you can use the players aquired/locked in during the collection process to build the foundation of a winning team that can get you more extra points plus the rewards from completion. I still use quite a few of my collection players on a championship caliber team, such as Shoeless Joe (97), Frank Baker (97) Eddie Collins (91) Rollie Fingers (94) and so on. Guys you don't need can be sold to fuel future collection investments. Add to that the ability to land guys like Rube Waddell a as team centerpiece and collecting is hard to beat. Even better, you don't need to get lucky, just be paitent and invest some time. As you start to build a good team, the rewards are not quite as great, since the collected players become less and less likely to contribute, but as Chazzy said, staying liquid to snare bargains on the AH is a great plan, even if you are just buying low and selling high.
