Finally completed the Harry Brecheen mission, he'll be a nice upgrade for my rotation. I had most of the pieces when the mission dropped, I just needed Howie Pollet (who I got a few weeks ago for 400 BIN when he was still going for 6k) and Maddix, who I didn't really wanna spent a lot of points on. Got him for 10.5k in the end, his price didn't really go down any further (I've never seen him being sold below 10k) so I just decided that I'm just gonna spend that 10k.
My work on the Padres and Senators collections are going pretty good too. I hope to complete the Senators one within this week and I should be able to complete the Padres one before the end of the year. Those two collections will probably the last ones I'll do in OOTP 20. Maybe I'll be able to finish the Braves one too but the only card I'm missing is the 91 Hank Aaron or the other diamond card from that mission but I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to get one of those for a reasonable price

Generally if you are buying collection pieces on release day you are either going to slightly overpay for cards that end up widely available or massively underpay for a future bottleneck of death.
I got my Gehrig for 160K. It's not gonna get any lower since the last 7 is correctly around there now. If I end up finding a cheap 96 I'll just flip it and make up the difference. |

I've got 7/10 of the Dodgers missions done. Pecking away...pecking away...
The most recent prize was a 99 Bob Caruthers after I pulled the trigger on a Whit Wyatt for 30K. Initially, I was very underwhelmed by the 99 Caruthers as a 99-rated historical diamond. Didn't seem to match up too well with ones like Brecheen, Blue, etc. But, then I noticed that the value of this 99 Caruthers might be more as a 2-way tournament player. The pitching ratings are fine (good, even) for rounding out a higher-cap starting rotation. But, the batting ratings are probably also good enough to DH him or play him in LF. If you can nab a good pitcher and good batter for 99 salary cap points total--that's a pretty nice value. EDIT: I also just noticed that this Caruthers is both a phenomenal baserunner and a fantastic sac bunter.

And for those of you worried about my team (which is nobody, but hey, you're the one reading this, so... ), I went on to upgrade my CF to a Diamond Willie Mays, allowing the relatively fleet footed Paul Blair to assume running duties from the bench as a utility outfielder and defensive substitute.

Live Miami is worthless, you are better off quick selling any bronzes or silvers they have if you need points.
Check the st louis browns one out of the baltimore collection. That 94 sisler is amazing and it should only cost like 20k-25k to complete although maybe some prices have changed over the past few months. |

Wasn't there another copy of Wyatt up for something like 27/33K at the time?

After being on the Duke Snider hunt for about a week now, with 170k sat waiting to be thrown at him if necessary, some kind soul went and listed 96 Snider at the very reasonable sum of 23k! I am very pleased

Looks like they "fixed" the last 7 glitch. No more sniping bottlenecks at a non-exorbitant price anymore

Got totally frustrated with collection missions to the end result of 'forget it' after my attempt at the 'Moneyball' one. Not a case of not being able to afford them (as far as I can guess) or a couple being unavailable - NONE ever seemed to be available.

Yeah, I was waiting on getting one of the diamonds at a reasonable price to finish up Moneyball for about a week, then this afternoon I went on and saw Bailey listed with a BIN of 10k. I scarfed it up just as quick as I could... now all I lack is one card to finish off the Bender one and I can get Waddell... Only problem is that I am now down to less than 10k PP ;-(. Hope some of the cards I put up on auction sell!

I have ignored the future legends mission until recently...is it just me, or is this thing like impossible? That Ken Griffey Jr. better be one hell of a card.

The card is solid and averages a 6.0 WAR in 6 seasons in Perfect, mostly I suspect for his excellent defense. But he did hit 40 homers in his first season, though he hasn't reached 30 since. He is a liability against Lefties. I platooned him in year 2054. I was interested in the card set and there are a few cards that actually play in Perfect. Nate Pearson SP is a serviceable 4th starter, for instance and Alex Kirilloff in RF. It's also a good set for those non-live tourneys. It was a fun set to collect.
