Question to collectors. Is there a reward for completing all the current NBA teams as whole? Or is it only team by team awards for current/historic?

Nope there are only rewards for locking teams. There might be one for locking all historics, because this happened in the past, but we cant say yet. There are still unreleased cards. 2K15 gave Diamond Shaq for completing Historics.

49 cards away from Jerry. I think New Years will be the time to go for him. I can pick up ~12 cheapo cards from the new throwbacks. I can also pick up maybe 10 moments. That leaves 27 cards in the theme or historic players. The math is looking pretty bad still, maybe I will have to wait for another theme pack.

Edit: I even started playing Blacktop again trying to pick up more players. Mode is still cancer.

While this might make it super-hard to get Wilt, I think I might start selling off the most valuable of my Historic cards. On PC AH, a lot of Historics are ridiculously inflated.

The most in-demand from most desirable collections are ridiculous. Like...the Magic Sapphires can sell for around or above 1M. Hawks Emeralds seem to be able to sell for around 50K or more. Lots of Rubies can go for way over 100K or even several hundred thousand.

I think I'm sitting on 1-2M in MT (PC!) of Historic cards that I don't use, and in collections I either can't complete (because I don't want to spend 300K+ on Pippen, for example) or won't complete (i.e. Hawks, because I don't think Lou Hudson is a big deal any more).

It might mean that I absolutely cannot get PD Wilt, and will delay when I can get PD West. But I'm also hoping that there will be some sort of reissuing of Historics that will allow me to re-buy cards for cheaper than I can sell right now.

I'm thinking that value of rare and/or expired Historics may trend downward, as:

1. Moments and Events cards, as well as theme pack cards and their rewards, make the Historic Rewards look unimpressive form a gameplay perspective.

2. More cards being released, in general, reduces all cards' value insofar as they're tied to Collector counts.

Just figured out how to use Antoine Walker offensively and I'm loving it. As long as you're not facing a defender at the 4 spot that's both really strong and pretty quick, Toine can go off.

With Pierce, Antoine can actually hang defensively at the 2 and romp on the other end in the post.

with the Pierce Dynamic duo he can go from 3 to 5 without a single problem.
he is fast, strong, efficient inside and outside

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

Lou Hudson: at this point in the game...no real point in locking in Historic Hawks for him, is there?

On PC, prices for expired historics are nutty, so I'm guessing I could easily get 200,000 MT for all the Historic Hawks, and probably that much for just a few of them...I don't want to go backward too much in Collector count.

That potentially equates to, very roughly, a theme pack Amethyst.

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

Been away for 2 weeks over christmas and wished I saved a bit more MT instead of buying cards. Very cheap now and even bronze players can be found for 500. I'm soon at 900 cards which will give me 30k so will probably continue to stack cards for a while, I want MRR at the very least and might go for Stackhouse as well.

I think that might be the possibility for locking historic teams. I think if collect all historic diamonds for the west you get pink diamond Baylor and if you get all east diamonds, you get pink diamond petit, but it's just a theory.

Most people think those will be late game Challenge rewards.

I agree. Much too modest for completing and locking so many Historic collections.

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

Put a dent into my card count last night. Sitting at 1250 cards now with 800k saved and will definitely go for King. Might go up to West then sell.
