I don't mind that there is no Rangers mission. I think most teams don't have one.. not even the Yankees. I'm sure it'll all be something rolled out later. It gives me more time to collect more Rangers. |

Negro League Collection
I spent over 55000 PP over the course of nearly 2 months and finally finished the Negro League Collection. I overspent on some but got deals on others.
And while I was definitely interested in some of these players for my all contact team - 6 are on my active roster - I was also motivated by the 2 Diamond Pack rewards. I strictly buy Standard Packs so these missions are the only way I would rip open a Diamond Pack. My two diamond packs: Pretty stoked about Molina! |

Yeah, that Molina card retails for 35-45K PP so you just about made your investment back on it plus the Soto card. Not to mention having a bunch of Negro League players at your disposal now.

The latest mission I've finished is the Japanese batters. Finally found a Muni Kawasaki for less than 999/1000 PP. I think I paid 200 PP, which is still too much, but it was just daft instead of out and out insane.
That brings my total to 19 completed collections so far. All have been 1 star or 2 star difficulties. I'm one card away on 5 other collections, but I probably become an astronaut before I find a reasonably priced Chien-Ming Wang, eh? It would be nice to be able to get some of the diamond pack collection rewards, but people are squatting on those cards with a lot of vigor.

I have completed just five. There's even a bunch of single-star kiddo stuff left over that I am too much of a scrooge to buy the cards for. I DID complete the 2019 Mets set, though…

This is actually probably the smart play because there's still a good deal of overpay necessary to do these collection missions. If I were a smarter man, I'd have waited another couple of months to begin working on them.

Any reason Del Unser's 1980 card (Unsung Heroes) isn't a part of the Phillies 1980 set mission?

Checking my collection mission stats so far...20 missions completed and 37K PP spent on those specific missions.
Gained in the process? *10 standard packs. Pulled Aroldis Chapman and Javier Baez from these. *2 gold packs. Pulled Matt Carpenter and Aaron Hicks from these. *75 Al Leiter (663 PP) *74 Gil Meche (1200 PP) + 70 Whit Merrifield (900 PP) *73 Edinson Volquez (2000 PP) *70 Yan Gomes (500 PP) *85 Roy Sievers (2500 PP) *68 Norichika Aoki (??? PP) *76 Nick Markakis (875 PP) *87 Harry Heilmann (11251 PP) All told, that's just about breaking even.

This morning I scooped a rookie Tom Seaver for 322 PP. I waited two weeks for that one. But of course, plenty of people made plenty of PP by selling to the "OMGIGOTTAHAVEITNOW" crowd.

I have done 4. turned like 20 cheap iron players into three packs that got me some different cheap iron players and a couple bronzes! score. Then did the babe ruth fusion since it is basically free.
Looked at the 1980(?) phillies one which was interesting, but of course there is never a 94 carlton on the market and according to the spreadsheet the special 97 tug mcgraw is strictly worse than the regular 93 tug mcgraw so nevermind. |
