The collection grind...who's going for it

Re: The collection grind...who's going for it

I'm selling for almost a week now after securing Jerry, very time consuming since I check prices for every card I put up for auction. But when I'm done my MT Balance should be in the range of 2.4 - 2.5 million, more than enough to enjoy the game till 2k18 arrives.

Everyone selling off their collections lol. I'm still gunning for wilt. Sold my Ruby Hibbert, vlade, ainge, and wedman other night so I could buy AI for Dominique. Giving up on diamond mitch Richmond.. Sitting at 2039 now. Maybe I'll get wilt by the all star break.

The time involved is why I won't sell off massively. Even though I'm on PC and getting up to even to West is barely possible right now.

Really hope I can get Wilt at the end of the game. And I think sensible approach is to give concerted collecting a rest until total count of cards in game gets higher.

I might sell off expensive Historic cards for collections I can't feasibly complete or don't care to.

But I won't sell off team items. Way too much of a pain to get the rarer ones the first time. Also a big pain to get maximum sales value from them.

Re: The collection grind...who's going for it

I'm kind of grinding but only want Rodman, Walker and maybe MRR. I'll see when I get to MRR how I feel about continuing for better cards. Only focused on players so far though so there should be a fair few easy cards for me to get later on. Have not spent anything on packs yet but probably will at some point when better cards come out and hope for the best!

Re: The collection grind...who's going for it

Definitely try to get up to MRR.

Yep should be doable, just got Rodman and realized that the coaches were dirt cheap so picked up another 24 cards (incl some jerseys), meaning I'm up to 775, though I barely have any MT. The moments challenges have been my main source of income, and then trying to pick up players around 500-600 MT.

Rudy Gobert free agent card:

Now Drummond too:

ANDRE-EDWYP-S2BQG-EWPAE

I was at like 49 cards to go for Bernard King, so two free cards in one night is a nice free gift.

Has anyone else typed in the codes (Gobert & Drummond), opened the FA packs, yet not have either play show up in the Collection or in the Cards Collected count?

Yup. Just entered them, opened the packs. Collector Count remained the same, and they were not in my Free Agents collection pages. Took screenshots of the pack opening in case that helps later on.

Re: The collection grind...who's going for it

Has anyone here gotten Jerry West yet? Is it worth it? I'm 99 cards away from Grant Hill, and I plan on getting Bernard King as well. I just don't know if it's worth it to keep going after that.

with all the moment cards and theme packs still to come it doesn't really make sense to stop either!

Does anyone remember, from the past, how many cards short of a totally complete collection the highest Reward was?

I would imagine that there's like 600+ cards yet to be released in packs (this counts historics that have been pullable in Historic Dom and in AH though).

If you've gotten to West now, I imagine PD Kobe is totally a possibility. I'm hoping that, being 50 away from King, that PD Wilt is a possibility for me, despite being on PC...but not that optimistic.

The first few Historic releases had really cheap Golds and Emeralds. REALLY cheap. But last few seem to have been quite expensive.

Wilt & Kobe will still be a while off for me, currently at 2130, roughly 95 historic cards to go(players, diamond players and the majority of that void being almost No Lakers/Pelicans and lots of golds missing yet). Still need to scoop up moments/free agents as they come and the Dream Team should account for 110-130 (assuming they each get their own collection to get the DT player). Long road ahead still.

Re: The collection grind...who's going for it

Thought I would post a milestone, I made it up to 1,000,000 MT over the weekend. I spent 2 weeks getting up to Grant Hill and have been slowly selling off my collection since then. I spend almost no time sniping, just on badges from time to time because I want to use them. Only $30 spent too.

Now I just need to decide what to spend all that MT on...
