The one thing I don’t understand is how people are putting bronze players who are part of missions where the reward is a regular pack up on the AH for thousands of points. Are there people stupid enough to pay?

On the main topic, I am a FTP player who completed the live missions just like most of you. My team looked like everyone else’s but I have been slowing transforming it with a few AH purchases but also some lucky pulls from packs won in tournaments. It is starting to feel like my team with players like Hughie Jennings (100 PEAK SS), Sam Thompson (92 Legend RF), Eddie Collins (95 Snapshot 2B), Paul Molitor (95 Legend 3B), Rube Waddell (99 Legend SP), Brandon Webb (97 Legend SP), Al Holland (97 Legend RP), and Bill Campbell (95 Legend, RP). The Live Mission cards still act as a backbone for my team but I take pride that I have built a team that has been in Diamond for three weeks. I haven’t broken .500 at Diamond yet but that is my next goal. I’m going to keep working on the team one piece at a time but I am not going to worry about beating everyone who have been willing to drop a big chunk of change to buy a team. I’m Billy Beane in a room of Steinbrenners!
