If you had 1,000,000 pp....

[mayday10]

... what would you do?


I think I would purchase an end-game starter, a few high 90s starters who could compete in diamond, a top rate CF, the best SS I can (Jennings, Appling?), and maybe even build the best Gold tourney team I can.

I would buy the best starting pitcher(s) that I could.

With the points sale that's entirely possible. I ain't buying a million but maybe 175k.

Hey, it's only $420 (plus tax).

Exactly, a dream come true for a few hundred. No, ain't doing it. May follow you next year. Spent way too much this year, as always.

My solution: use it to make more PP. Oh and bought Roger Connor and SE Ted, they seem good.

I actually spent $25 this weekend. I couldn't resist the points sale, so I am no longer free-to-play. I will be fine if I only spend money when points are on sale.

$25 ain't much. Point sale is nice. Hang on to your points, the greedy masses have jacked up prices thinking we're dummies but I can wait it out as long as needed.

I actually got several cards at below last-7 prices this weekend, but you have to be patient. I passed on more than I bought.

[Warhawk]

I'd buy a Tris Speaker probably.

There are some teams that already spent more than this.

You are destined to reach the Diamond level doldrums.

Really? Great! I hope to be that good someday.

If you asked me a month or so ago, I'd say buy great perfect starting pitching, but based on how the whale teams are looking, I'd say buy beasts at 2B/3B/SS/CF that can out-WAR the competition.

I bought into the sale and dropped the 35 bucks to get 175K PP. It allowed me to quickly finish the Live Missions which I had been resisting due to not wanting to deplete my meager PP I had at the time. If for nothing else, completing the Live missions is a must...you will reap much more than was spent completing them. I pulled a 98 Pete Alexander a couple of days ago and pitched him for 4 starts....3 out of the 4 he was almost untouchable. Thought I'd have him forever until I was presented an offer I could not refuse. The amount of PP I got from that sale padded my account nicely and has set me up to get the pieces I need to hopefully advance to Diamond after this season. I was able to add 100 Nolan, 98 Medwick (look at this card, it is outstanding), 100 Gordon and Pesky (just this morning). I may miss my Ozman 68 which had a ZR of 23.9 but low .200's hurt. Replacing Cano, Tulo and Oz. Pulling Buck Ewing helped as well as he can play a lot of places and compliments Berra.

Finish the Live Missions if nothing else...you'll be glad that you did. Hell I might even buy another 175K at this price just to really pad the account lol...if it is still going on? Maybe it ended already

And get on the Discord Forums...so much information there...I learned more about this game in the past 3 days with all the 411 from some of the biggest players...can be dangerous to your wallet if you are not disciplined though lol Lots of great advice on who and who not to buy if you really want to do well. It saved me from making some big PP mistake purchases.

Ha, yeah for sure. Looking at some teams, they have thousands of dollars equivalent of players.

Truth be told, I have close to 1,000,000 pp. I won a Dick Allen card in a tournament earlier in the month and him whacking 40 HRs/season wasnt doing it for me as much as his value out there was. So I sold that card as well as my perfect Trout, a few unneeded Live SE players, and perfect "no control" Nolan Ryan

But now I just have a pile of pp and paralysis. Im not sure where to begin. I found a perfect Shoeless Joe at about 75% of the L7 price so I jumped on it. Was thinking of grabbing a Pedro. Would love to grab one of the best SS, but always waiting for a Jennings to see how much that is worth but none available. I wish there was a good Ty Cobb card. Also was longingly looking at a Nap Lajoie card.

I'm not seeing much advice on the discord channel. Help a noob out?

I would buy 1000 packs then after my best pull being JT Realmuto I would realize what a lousy decision it was and go cry in my Cheerios

Same. 1,000 packs, then about 50 in with at least 30 of them being the 6 live trash variety I'd realize this, like exactly 100% of my other moves so far in PT 21, was a terrible mistake.
