What cards are you pining for?

I have about 200k and a whole watchlist full of guys. I only go for blue ratings and don't care about overall as much.

What card is truly worth it? What card are you saving for or if it's there you are buying?

Identify them and fix them.

What level are you at and what level do you want to get to?

In general, just look at the guys who are among the league leaders in your current league, and who are the most used on the upper-echelon teams in your league.

Personally, I am pining for Warren Spahn, but there's a 2,000,000 PP bid for him and no offer. So pining won't help me, or you.

I'm pining for any of the Immortal Seasons cards, but that will probably change in a few hours when the Clemente missions are released. In any case, I have the sad feeling that I'll be drawing lots of Striders or Will Smiths rather than the truly desirable cards. Of course, a Perfect Gehrig would be nice, but my last five Perfect draws have been four Trouts and an Arraez.

Start working on the Topps missions if you haven't yet. On your way to getting Mookie, make sure to buy Bregman. And on the way to completing the other two missions, make sure you buy Yount, he becomes a very valuable commodity when you eventually do the BB Ref missions and get Lynn since he's a tolerable RH half of a CF platoon as well as a fine SS.

If you complete all those missions your toppers will be Scherzer, Hubbell, Lynn, and Mize. All of those are playable at the diamond level.

Any cards better than the ones I've got. ;-)
