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

so apparantly the current version of Jonathan Simmons no longer exists. At least it hasn't been missing in the AH since his moment card dropped

It's just a search issue. If you search "Jonathan Simmons" you only get the moments version, but if you search bronze SG spurs then there's tons of the regular version available.

I searched "bronze Simmons" and 'current Simmons" there were none every time I've checked over 3 days

Don't search him by name. You have to just put spurs current bronze and sg as filters and he will show up.

I keep seeing Simmons when I just search for Bronze auctions ending soon. He's there and he's cheap. I found him searching for bronze and then a price range and just found him. Look that way and you'll get him.

What is everyone's card count at? I have 1756. I keep looking up the stats of that Jerry West and drooling but I know I am nowhere near it. Hitting a difficult stretch where now the majority of the cards I am missing are becoming increasingly expensive. Every couple days I grab the new moment silvers and golds for 1k a piece to add to my count.

I'm closing down on just 1200, or whatever it is for the Stackhouse reward.

Have all but maybe 10 Current player cards. Have basically all but a very small handful of currently available Shoes.

The problem is, I'm on PC, and rarity is exacerbated and prices on non-common items are higher. A lot of the rarer Team Items are much rarer and it takes serious time dedication to constantly search for them so that you'll catch them popping up. Current team logos, for example, are super-scarce. And when they're around, people are trying to sell them for like 10K.

I hope that it's possible for me to get the PD Wilt toward the end of the game, but not all that optimistic about it.

I'm up to 1109 cards. Pretty good considering last weekend I was at 500 cards and I also haven't even begun to look at shoes yet. I am a little worried because every time I try to project out spending I come up ~100k MT short of Grant Hill. I either have to find a lot of good snipes or start spending some money (free player so far). I'll see how I feel but either stop after Hill or King and sell everything back. No way I make it to Jerry West even though the card looks great.

That you haven't focused on Shoes yet should be very encouraging. There are over 200. And it's easy to get a lot on the cheap. Particularly when people are opening a lot of packs.

I imagine you have 100+ easily/cheaply attainable cards right there. Maybe 150+.

The problem is my calculations assume I'm going to get ~100 shoes for cheap and I already have ~80 unique shoes that I've just gotten organically. We'll see how it goes. This weekend will tell me a lot as I have some time tonight and then on Saturday to grind it. I had been waiting until I felt like I was hitting a wall to start on shoes to reenergize my efforts and I'm starting to reach that point.

I don't know how much time and effort it will take, but you will be able to get most shoes for 250-500MT. The remainder you will be able to get for 500-1000MT. It's unpredictable, but my general tip is that Shoes are cheapest, and you're most likely to find caches of Gold shoes for cheap during daytime USA hours, especially on days when new packs have recently dropped.

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

Just reached 1700 n collected Bernard King. Damn it was a grind going from Hill to King. Think I'm done collecting for the year. Gonna sell all the expensive stuff and sit on the mt for better cards to come out.

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

I wonder how many different shoes there are. I have 201 and I don't think I ever really focused on hunting for them.

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

I decided to go for the collection rewards today. I have been doing nothing with my MT except waiting so why not. I can see that it is going to be a long road ahead. I am trying to finish non-player sets so I'm not overwhelmed by the sheer number of items from each category.

Never collected before so this should be interesting.
