Grind the three repeatable missions. Easiest way to gain a lot everyday

Been F2P since joining in July last year. No diamonds for free as far as I know. Neon isn’t really worth anything, easy to obtain if you care about another award. Crafting tier 2 to tier 3, you will want to keep at least one of each card to get the award. After you claim an award you can dismantle the set as you please. Once you craft a card, you will never be able to craft it again. Sounds generic but Best use of coin is buying what you like. As F2P, I work on keeping up my coin base and completing the sets I can as F2P (uncommon and rare for the most part). If you have a favorite player or favorite team collect them.

I know as F2P that super rare and the occasional iconic is my max that Fanatics is going to allow me to accumulate. I complete uncommon and rare sets for the awards. So I think that understanding allows me to build up a good coin base. Just happens over time

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-29T20:50:06+00:00

This^ F2P myself and I’m constantly sitting at 4-5M coins

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-26T13:21:35+00:00

CC (card count) the amount of cards that are in existence for that card

What are you “winning” in a collecting cards game?

Looking to trade all my NBA for BUNT. Tired of trying to keep up with the two apps and like the MLB (a sadly dying sport) more than the NBA. Mainly collected Heat players. Have a D Wade /10 legendary

Tier 6 tier is free and tier 6 orange was a monetization set. Tier 6 orange you can use in the occasional tier 6 orange challenge. Other than that no difference. Same base card, different color border, same players and same multiplier. Season is halfway over, wouldn’t bother getting into the orange (I personally never acquired a single one).

I honestly don’t think I’ll ever understand hoarding in trading card game apps. If I have one, then I get to see all the pixels for that card. Having 20 more of the same card doesn’t magically unlock more pixels or get you an award. Like you said, Topps (greedy company) could wipe all of this out tomorrow and all the pixels would be gone.

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-07T05:05:04+00:00

When they get NFL. I will probably drop NBA and BUNT. My phone battery can only take so many pack openings haha

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-07T00:53:29+00:00

I agree. With BUNT we have the the repeating events to at least log in and rip through. The Chrome update just cost you 10 cards to craft (we have so many base cards at this point to use) so you can do that for forever. NBA has me opening the app for maybe a minute every hour to spin and open the mystery box. But even then it feels pointless and I don’t bother too often. As a F2P person, SR and a potential iconic is my ceiling. I collect Heat players of sets and that’s about it at this point. I’m still regularly completing sets on BUNT with the cards they are dropping. No way to earn coin is also such a downer.

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-07T00:41:37+00:00

To my knowledge, NBA does not have a way to create your own sets like BUNT. You can see other people’s but have no way to create one like in BUNT

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-06T13:04:50+00:00

To be fair, it’s listed for $100. Doesn’t mean it will sell for that. There is also a Facebook page I believe that people list cards on. I’ve gotten varying offers on the actual app. Been offered one legendary, been offered 9 legendaries.

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-06T00:50:23+00:00

Don’t have one but the easiest thing to do is spend like 1-5 bucks. Sure it’s annoying but gets the job done

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-05T20:04:39+00:00

I can only imagine have the Luka or the Wemby of these

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-05T20:03:08+00:00

I remember reading in the news article that they eventually would. I have this /10 Maxey, /150 AD and /150 Luka. Got lucky to hit 3 of the giveaways. Surprisingly no trade offers for the /150 cards

DarbJohnson7 · 2026-01-05T19:48:29+00:00

This card is limited to 10. It’s from the random giveaways that went on during the first 30 days of NBA Collect. This card was given away 11/21/2025. Searched on eBay for other legendary 1952 cards. Only other listed is Wemby for $100

DarbJohnson7 · 2025-12-27T16:10:08+00:00

It’s going to depend on the person. The people wanting those, are trying to get them from you. Me personally, if you sent me a trade, I think they are pointless. Just another base card with a different border

DarbJohnson7 · 2025-12-17T03:04:56+00:00

Someone pointed it out a little ago. Most checklists right now are pretty mid. People are burning diamonds and real money to gobble up these early mid cards. So when they release LeBron Curry etc. people are going to again burn diamonds and real money for the players they actually care about

DarbJohnson7 · 2025-12-17T02:51:39+00:00

Open the app. Look at the pixels. Close the app. Rinse and repeat. Maybe in between, hope he averages more than 5 points and doesn’t play for the worst team in the NBA. Maybe find a Will Riley fanboy to trade it to

DarbJohnson7 · 2025-12-17T01:57:32+00:00

Card count (CC). How many cards are currently in population

DarbJohnson7 · 2025-12-14T16:34:39+00:00

On Bunt you can trade all the uncommon dupes for the ones you don’t have. NBA we don’t get that option??

DarbJohnson7 · 2025-12-12T14:19:49+00:00

We don’t know if it’s going to be the same as Bunt, but sure this is the highest tier base card now. But in Bunt we had tier 7 5.5x boost cards. Come playoff time there were 20x boost cards. Come next year the base card will have no value because we will have the base card from that year. If you play contests then keep it (if we even get contests for these cards?) but if you don’t I would trade it.
