Boy Stanley, I can’t believe how much you have saved for it Willie Mays!
I will give you some unsolicited advice. And it’s worth what you’re paying for it!
I would be willing to lay down good money that Willie Mays will appear as a franchise hero mission reward for San Francisco. I think there’s going to be three franchise hero missions and again if I had to guess I would suspect he will be in franchise hero set three because I really can’t think of anyone else from the Giants who would qualify more as a franchise hero than Willie.
There’s two ways you can approach Willie when he shows up. One, you can buy him off the auction house. He will be over priced right when he comes out of course. The other approach would be to complete the San Francisco missions that are out now and keep completing them until Willie comes out as a reward. If you do that then when he appears the incremental cost of getting him should be pretty low.
I’m sure you have completed the live mission for San Francisco. Then all you need to add is the perfect Juan Marichal card (which relatively speaking won’t be that hard to complete, and is actually pretty useful), and then the team mission for the Giants. Completing those three missions would get you the Willie McCovey card. And again he’s at least semi-useful at first base!
The other thing I would do, if I were taking this route, would be to collect any SF silver/gold/diamonds that I could find. Especially ones that are not currently in missions, because those are going to be the cards that will be added to missions next (so you can get them cheaper right now before everyone is dashing after them). This step requires a little guesswork but honestly there aren’t that many extra cards to worry about so I’m willing to bet most every card that is a Giants player will be eventually involved in a mission.
I am confident that collecting the cards this way will be cheaper than waiting for them to come out and trying to collect them. And I suspect the end cost of getting Willie Mays will be cheaper this way also. Plus it gives you something to do while you’re waiting!
I am doing something similar in that I am pretty sure someday there will be a Walter Johnson reward for a senators mission. So I’m collecting all of the senators cards I can so that when the mission comes out all I’ll have to do is turn it in! I only hope the card isn’t terrible!
