Exactly. He got railroaded.

Houston silvers will never come down to 300, guaranteed. And while you wait to save, what? you could be earning:

That's a disappointingly low number for Bags.

Is there a break in period before he starts earning? Okay, only 27 games.

If he is your best power hitter, make sure he leads off, for those starting a game with a HR points.

I must be managing him wrong....360 pp all season :-(

Good advice, he seems to like leading off. Actually, he runs pretty well too.

As others have said, the A.L. West series is easy to complete and very lucrative. I was getting bored with my pack-only team and finally realized that I would never finish any missions going this route. I had pulled Verlander and Yordan Alvarez from packs, so I decided to abandon the pack-only strategy and go for Bagwell. I spent 9,200pp on the 20 remaining cards that I needed, and upgraded a few weak spots on my team by buying some golds (Altuve, Springer, Greinke and Pressly) over cheaper silvers.

After seeing how quick and easy it was, I decided to go for Plank and Ichiro also. I completed the Angels, Mariners, and Rangers for 360pp after selling the reward cards. The Athletics mission cost me 5,050pp because I had to overspend for a couple of the silvers to get it done.

From start to finish, it took less than a week. I had several irons and bronze from packs for each mission but nothing above bronze for any mission except the two Astros. The total spent was 14,615pp for 92 cards, and I ended up with 66K in cards (counting those four live Astros mentioned above) plus a gold pack. Not bad!

I have a team in Our League, which uses only non-live cards. So, I decided to sell all my 60+ Live cards. Then, I decided to do collections. D'oh!

Oh, well! Even having to re-buy some bronze and silver, I still came out pretty far ahead. The value is the 7-day average when I started. I did the West last week and just finished the East and Central today.

I got Brantley for 1151, then, instead of over paying, I bought the Greinke 86 for 1399.

I've noticed that sometimes in these team collections, the lower cards get so over priced, I figure if I'm going to pay a gold card price, I'll just get the gold card instead.
