Auction House missions

Wish there was an easy way to filter the AH for cards in missions.

When I did the live missions it was easy to filter by 2021 live cards, Negro league players I can type Negro in Search player.
But for the Build a legend I have to search each card in the mission individually since there is no AH filter to find cards designated for these missions.

Look for the expensive ones!

I keep hoping that they give each mission a code and search for that code in the AH. Example, BALBAL would bring up all the cards eligible to complete Baltimore build a legends, or LSBAL would bring up all Baltimore live cards, or PRED, would bring up all the cards needed in the Pack Rewards Ed mission. NLP -- negro league pitchers, and so on and so forth. But, as this is the 3rd version of missions my hope is dying.

TBH, I think Madmarcus' suggestion is perfectly practical. There are a (very) few exceptions in the case of widely recognised over-powered players principally for tourney use, but in most cases any card obviously hugely overvalued at auction compared to similar cards is linked to a BAL mission. God only knows why.. over only a week the auction 'values' of some of the perfect cards have fallen from insane amounts obviously nobody was stupid enough to pay to barely more than 'MLB live' defaults. If ever a game mechanic emphasized the relation between 'supply and demand', this is it.

P.S. The one filter I would really appreciate is screening out all cards you already have. That can't be too hard, surely?

They've answered this one repeatedly. It sounds simple, but actually puts an exponential increase in stress on the servers with all the queries. It's not going to happen.

The Devs have certainly shown a willingness to add more filters this year. There's a good case for mission filters, so I'm sure they'll be thinking about that.

I wish the forum had a bot that if you typed in "filter my own cards," this answer would pop up

While it's not the best answer, at least owned cards are red and you don't even have to look at them as you page through the AH cards.

Keep a text file with search strings, and copy/paste.

Most missions can fit into one string. The pipe character is an "OR" operator. Using the last couple letters of the first name, the space, and then first couple letters of the last name, is generally the most efficient.

example: ry bo|be ru = Barry Bonds or Babe Ruth
