Pack odds.

Pack odds.

Are you just selling things for existing buy offers? As you should never do that, always put up a sell order instead as you'll get far, far more stubs. Selling a silver for under 100 stubs is just throwing money away as well, considering you can discard them for that much, same with bronzes under 25 stubs.



Bizarrely commons seem to sell for more than bronzes nowadays, presumably because most people don't think to sell commons. I just fill my selling list with sell orders when I'm playing games, then gradually refill it when more cards when some sell, then make sure to leave it full over night and by morning the vast majority are gone.

I havent sold any silvers because it appeared I could get peanuts. I haven't used the order system though. I just listed a few cards for 100. They are selling for like 20 though so I highly doubt they sell. Wish I would have realized i could sell them this way sooner.

There seems to be slightly better odds opening packs on the MLB The Show website. Normally on the console I get horrible bronzes and commons while on the site I get a lot of good silvers and bronzes and the occasional gold. Last night I opened a pack online and got a diamond equipment.

Why list them at 100? It's a double waste: you waste one of 20 listing spaces, and you lose 10 stubs commission.
Just quick sell them for 100 and get it over with.

Or don't, I enjoy buying silvers under 100 and bronzes under 25 and turning around quickselling them. Not a lot of money, more of a satisfaction type thing.

If I could quick sell them for 100 I would. Thats the issues I'm having with these pack openings. Majority of the cards quick sell for peanuts.

Re: Pack odds.

Why can't I quicksell certain cards? Vidal Nuno hasn't been collected and I have SIX of him, but I can't quick sell, and the market is like 17 stubs

You can't quick sell commons

You can quicksell any silver for 100 stubs. I think you're thinking of "sell now" which is totally different.

I'm mostly talking about the cards below silver. Which is what 98 percent of these packs consist of. I was wondering how people where getting 100 for commons and bronze cards. I got a bunch of those up for sale orders right now so I'll see if this works any better.

The price of common/bronze cards was a lot higher in the first couple of weeks when more people were trying to get those 25 man collections, there are a lot less 100 stub cards now. A lot of bronzes are now only 50 or 60, while commons are sometimes more than that, some still over 100.

Generally it depends on who they play for, if it's a team who are easily collected then they are generally more valuable while catchers are also more valuable (not entirely sure why, presumably people feeding them to there created player?). Also, the lower the players rating the more valuable they tend to be, presumably because most people start at the bottom and work their way up when collecting?

Re: Pack odds.

I'm hoping that i'm not the only one doing this but I've been keeping track of what I've been pulling from packs on a spreadsheet. Right now my sample size is pretty small with only 24 packs but it looks like there's a five percent chance to pull a gold and a forty percent chance for a silver. I haven't pulled a diamond so i don't know the odds but since you get one gold in every twenty packs you won't make your money back unless you pull a freeman.

For anyone that doesn't know: If you're going to rip packs, doing it from your computer is better than doing it on your PS4. I'm not sure why, but you definitely get consistently better cards when you use the website instead of console.

Do you have concrete evidence of this or is it simply anecdotal?

Ive seen a lot of people say this, so I bought a pack and opened it on the website. Got Michael Brantley. I told my buddy about this so he did the same, got Joey Votto. Ive bought a handful more since and got nothing so I dunno

From my experience the website is considerably better. Try it for yourself, if it's not the same for you then oh well. It can't possibly be worse than the odds on console lol

Ain't that the truth. My next bundle will be bought on the website. Can't hurt.
