I don't see how I'll ever be able to get Trout, Harper etc

Short of spending a lot if real money, how are people getting these diamond cards? I have terrible luck with packs so the only way I could ever get an expensive player like Trout would be to play the market for a long time but between feeding players and commanding teams and grinding innings, not to mention frachise, I don't have the time. Are you just spending real money to get guys like Trout and Harper?

I have spent real money, but i have also flipped to make well over 1 mill stubs. I have both of these players but i flip all the time. I am always setting orders. I do it when im at work. I check on them maybe every 30 minutes and quickly redo them if they havent been completed. Yesterday was a good day for the middle of the week and i was able to go from 58k to 78k

How much real money have you spent? I'm trying to figure out how much I need to spend.

Sweetness, yeah I just need to budget!

[zkatz]

And do you usually flip higher or middle range golds?

I imagine for most gamers it might take about a couple weeks of playing the marketplace to earn enough to put in a buy order for these players.

I always spend money when the game first releases so I can get myself off to a decent start. From there it's a grind. Both Harper and Trout came in standard packs when it was really late at night for me, FWIW. Happened about a week apart, first two weeks of May...Harper came in a pack I opened online just because I was in the middle of a game, and I got my Trout after I blew a lead in a BR game and wanted to sooth myself blowing stubs on a 20 pack lol.
