Select Bryan Reynolds

I am totally amazed at the prices for the cards for the Pittsburgh Historical Select mission. You need 8 cards for a mission that yields you a 95 OVR OF that you'll never use and is for sale in the AH in the mid-30's and has been at that price for weeks. If you get that card, it completes the set of 5 cards required to get Willie Stargell, a platoon OF/1B who strikes out too much to use at higher levels and is available in the AH in the upper 30's, and if you get Stargell and 4 other guys you are entitled to a free Roberto Clemente, who has a L10 of 98K. But most of the mission cards are for sale in the upper teens, which means that I'd be lucky to do the mission for much less than the combined price of Clemente and Stargell. And even that ignores the fact that to get Clements you also have to buy Banks, Bench, Sheets, and Hornsby.

I wanted to get Clemente, and didn't particularly value completing the mission to enable me to get Dahlen (I've seen him in the AH in the low 30's) since I am doing OK with Vaughan platooning with Appling. So I just bought Reynolds. Is Dahlen so valuable that I should spend over 100K just to get him (and sell the duplicate Reynolds for 35 K or so, meaning that my outlay for Dahlen would be somewhere around 75K)?

You need to read the mission requirements. To get the division level cards such as Clemente, you need to complete the team level MISSIONS not just collect the cards. Hence Stargell, for example, has relatively little value beyond that of a very average '100' card but getting him is not the primary reason to do the mission. Likewise, you need all the division level missions completed and not just purchased cards to get Koufax and Speaker at the top of the tree. The prices of everything feeding into that are largely determined by that objective.

If it's any consolation, you are free to sell any FH3 cards you wish once you have completed the mission that obtains them.

Think it's bad now. It was much much worse when the mission 1st came out!

Indeedy. Forget 'upper teens', Homer; the Pittsburgh silver and golds were going for 50K plus. Seriously. It was the worst for some reason, together with Tampa. There just didn't seem to be many of the cards about, and a lot of people were getting stuck there when they had everything else they needed to complete FH3.

I understand now. Since I don't see myself completing all the FH3 missions in the next few months, I guess I'll pass on those missions.

you have over a year to complete the missions

Technically, yes, but the AH in PT22 is already in critical condition on life support with organs being marked for harvesting. And as soon as PT23 releases, you'll have a better chance of having a competent MLB commissioner put into place than finding a card you need in the PT22 AH.

Yes. This is the best month to get what you need. The AH is horrendous once a newer version is announced.

While correct, that does not mean you cannot complete the missions. I have had 3 more teams complete the FotF missions in 21 the last couple of months, with almost no AH use. Just keep doing the tourneys and ripping the packs.

I have to agree on Pitt historical. It was the very last one I completed in the series. It was a nightmare.

Hey quizkid, why do feel the need to cheat with multiple teams in the same tournament? Pretty sad actually.
