Collection Missions General Discussion

[atabakin]

Well, it looks like out of all the team collections, these are certainly three of them.

The angels had Nolan Ryan for his prime but I'm sure people are also pumped to earn guy who finished 7th in cy young once

I'm pretty happy with it. The Quokkas had Bill Freehan on their roster basically sucking wind.

Noticed I said *had*. He was insta-bought for 77,778 PP. And I can't help but feel I left some of it on the table, as quickly as he was purchased.

I hope you enjoy the card, whoever bought it. And I hope he doesn't suck wind for you.

80K just for a locked mission card is absurd. Maybe the Tigers have some value to it but the others definitely don't.

I forgot about that..., but still all required cards are LIVE cards and most of the LIVE missions were not worth doing in the first place....

There's a 96 Nolan Ryan SE as part of the Angels collection, one of the "lesser" rewards. Depending on his ratings that might be a good card. Just as long as Control isn't below 50 it should be usable on some teams.

There's also a 100 Norm Cash amongst the Tigers collection. Seems like there's some decent pickups in the single mission rewards, but nothing too earth shattering or meta-defining on Tuesday.

yet another moment I wish OOTP Go was a thing so I could sell these cards from work

The market will bear what the market will bear.

I basically see it as found money because Freehan was so bad that he was my backup catcher. Future Legend Keibert Ruiz was running rings around him.

I haven't sold anything so far. Market doesn't seem to be a fan of these missions.

Everyone who is in the loop was stocked up already, and all the "investors" that try to sell right away just flood the market and undercut each other.

Happens all the time on fifa.

I did get lucky in that the Freehan was part of one of those missions were all the cards must be collected.

It just depends on the reward cards. I was selling Athletics like hot-cakes last month.

I predict on Thursday there will be a Cardinals collection with PEAK Ozzie. I'm sure that'll get some action.

What are the chances that they'd allow this week-long celebration of winning pass without releasing the collections for the team most synonymous with winning, the Yankees?

Apparently there's going to be 5 team missions? With 3 already hit. So 2 on Thursday. I'm really surprised the Tigers and Angels came, I thought it would be the playoff teams this week. So Yankees/Astros/Dodgers/Cardinals/Nationals.

Anyway it would be really funny if the Yankees mission was a dud like the Red Sox. Pretty sure it'll be PEAK Ozzie for the Cards, but don't know who they can do for the Yankees that doesn't already have a relevant card. Think there will be Mr. October in there somewhere.

Can't believe I waited a month for these missions. No cards that are even close to PL playable. Was hoping there would be something with the Detroit mission given their long history, but a 9 part collection mission with two diamonds as a reward is honestly insulting.

How would a Peak Ozzie be different from his diamond card? I think Peak Miggy clears the way for Peak Pujols.

If this card follows the pattern of most peak cards, the hitting ratings will be higher while the speed and defense take sizable hits. At least, this is basically what happened with both Belanger and Aparicio...

I've got all but one Angels card and am looking to sell. Pretty close to a complete set of Tigers too. And I'd move them. Shoot me a PM if you're working on either mission and looking for specific cards. Happy to cut through the nonsense of the AH and help some folks complete their collections.

Hal Newhouser is one of the best LHSP in the game now. Norm Cash is the best OBP hitter vR now. Miggy is a pretty solid hitter. Don't get so hung up on overalls.
