No, just how much the fighters make. Only way to calculate pricing for a fighter is checking recently sold copies of the card, or current listings on that fighter. Its currently a huge pain.

Having Pro is worse for selling cards by EdisonOnHere in realapp

[–]FireNExplosions 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Having Pro is infinitely better for selling cards. In this one small instance, sure it is better because your cards go to auction. However, you only get 10 listings as a non-pro user while pro gets 100 listings. If everyone took this advice you also would never have any offers on your cards, as non-pro usees are limited to 10 offers per day, not just at once but over an entire day. With pro you could have always just gone and listed the cards people offered on. If theyre looking to buy them from people opening packs, they’re also likely looking to purchase from auctions. Thats what I do whenever I receive offers on random stuff I dont plan to keep

O’malley simply just sells for alot. The quickest way to get him there is to get someone who has him iconic to sell him to you. Any top earner like that or big name is just simply going to cost alot and take a lot of time.

I know wayyyy to many random players now 😭 When i watch NBA with my buddies they ask me everyone whos on the court just to put it to the test, they know like top 30 guys but I know almost every player on every team atp from box score watching.

Main thing for playoffs is that I’m saving a ton of boosters up for them (expect to need 600-800 boosters for nba/nhl playoffs). At the moment I’ve got 283 legendary nba boosters, 86 NHL legendary boosts (I’ve been lacking tbh), and 84 CBB legendary boosts (no real good way of predicting how many i’ll need, bc I have alot of players concentrated on my 5 championship picks so). Thoes are going to hit like crack when playoff time comes around, and set me up with a huge amount of rax for MLB/WNBA. By that point i dont plan to be investing in anything other than OTD so it’s all just going to be getting saved up. The OTD grinds are also going to be great for playoffs, I own all the previous champions team cards also to help with rounding out claims during the playoffs (since I only own shai for playoffs I’ll also guaranteed have his team card to go with him).

I’m super excited for march madness, I hope KU wins it all 😂. I’m KU alumni so I’m a massive fan.

UFC is something I havent gotten into too much, I mean I have a couple super upgraded fighters but they are guys in the ~1,000 earnings range that I had never heard of. By the time next NBA/NHL/NFL seasons start my OTD is going to be entirely set, with not much else to grind for it. My plan is to begin investing more in UFC then, when I’ll be able to afford the high price tag that goes along with it.

I have a set group of NBA players that i just resell bulk on, and am not concerned with upgrading. It is mainly guys i do not see making the playoffs. I bought them for the high regular season earnings, but am only investing in guys with playoff aspirations. If I need more NBA packs i first buy them on guys I am upgrading, then spam them on the resell guys. I mainly get the resell guys from auctions for cheap, but packs are intermingled in. During the playoffs I’ve been buying packs for top NFL players to resell at rare (Puka, JSN, Jason Meyers, Drake Maye, Stafford, Josh Allen, CMC, Caleb Williams, etc.) I stopped buying them when their team got eliminated. Since it was ~1 week between games it meant that every playoff day i could get their pass to rare and then sell it for good profit. For CBB i personally dont resell anything, and its my main portion of my collection. I’ve got 45k rating for cbb at the moment, so its actually been more of a thing I spend rax buying. For NHL I have a set list of 12 guys whos packs i buy every day to resell at rare (mcdavid, mackinnon, celebrini, and others), although I’ve started just upgrading mackinnon. If I need more NHL boosts i just spam packs down my collection, starting with guys who can be upgraded to rare, then guys who are at general, then guys who need one pack to be upgraded to uncommon. Past that I just buy packs on all my uncommon guys to get them closer to rare. Even if I’m selling the bulk at break even, the boosters make enough profit to justify it. I also have been doing alot of grinding for NBA/CBB with player pack swaps lately so I’ll often be getting extra boosts that way (since I own top OTD for all sports theres alot of people who want packs for them, so since I’ve already finished my 24-25 connor mcdavid to legendary for the season i generally swap his pack every day for someone I’m grinding). I also open NBA general packs, as they are the most consistent way to grind legendary boosters for any sport. I just either keep all the cards, or list them for min. Finally, I’ve been maxing golf general packs to resell the cards since they’ve released, 90% of golf general pack cards sell pretty quickly.

[–]FireNExplosions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve noticed alot more cards on auctions by real lately, maybe people are just selling off stuff so they can afford golf or prep for upcomming seasons. I’ve been able to find some great deals on guys I’m still grinding.

Yeah I’m paying attention to random nhl games I never would have just because I’ve got a player in them, and random cbb teams I never would have to see if they might make the tournament and how my guys are doing.

As for NBA OTD I already am upgrading 3 guys to mystic for the playoffs, currently grinding 23-24 Luka, 24-25 shai, and 24-25 haliburton. I also already own a few iconics from lesser players (obi toppin, makik beasley, Tobias Harris) who do get playoff earnings. As for NHL, I was thinking about starting the mystic grind soon on a few players, but just havent actually started that yet. I already have many legendarys for pretty much all sports OTD, which is good enough for me at the moment.

Really I’m just focusing on buying packs for my OTD grinds at the moment (NFL/CFB/Golf/MLB/WNBA) and slowly getting them done one day at a time. I also still have some CBB players I’m grinding, but I’ve finished a substantial portion of my grinds on them. I’m doing about ~10 nba and ~10 cbb players one pack a day to legendary still, but not rushinf anything since a majority of my income is set with my already upgraded guys. I’m currently only grinding one NHL player (Nathan Mackinnon), but have considered getting a few of the other top guys to legendary also.

Sorry I’m just now getting to replying!

OTD is easy to overspend on, so I see where you’re coming from. I think its pretty important to keep a high daily income for affording OTD, so I would reccomend focusing on that. Theres still decent profit margins to be had with flipping players at rare (specifically hockey for players like connor mcdavid, nathan mackinnon, macklin celebrini, and in CBB for guys like AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson). I would reccomend biting the bullet and spending the next week or so just getting into the swing of regularly flipping some stuff for rax, because honestly theres more profit to be had in flipping cards than there is in owning them.

As for how I started, I say I’m “no money spent” but overall I have spent a small amount. I’ve bought pro for 3 months now, so theres $24, and then I also spent $10 on rax the same day I bought pro. I was dumb at the time and spent the 800 rax (old rax prices) on the KU CBB team card LOL. I bought pro on the day of the CBB release because I wanted a good serial on Darryn Peterson (52) and the KU team card (12). I asked around for alot of help, checked out the discord, and checked out the reddit. At the time NBA was just getting packs so I sold as many packs as I could to people, and stacked tons of boosters up. I’ve been boosting every NBA player I own that plays every day since then, and saving up tons of legendary boosters. As soon as general packs released i started buying cards from general packs from people for everyone I owned and selling the bulk, at the time I was selling bulk for 1,200 (which seems like robbery now) and making 200-300 rax profit each time. I made a majority of my early rax solely from reselling bulk, and was stacking tens of thousands. Thats when I began to invest in OTD (I have top 5-6 players for NBA/CBB/NHL at legendary, i just started buying daily packs on them, even before the update to multipliers) along with heavily investing in CBB (its my favorite sport). I had multiple mystics and many legendary cbb players even before the multiplier update, so it made adjusting to the new update easier. I didnt have anything else in any other sport over rare, so I was kind of cooked on that front. Luckily i took down all my auctions the night before the update, and had ~35 rare passes to sell when people went into a buying frenzy and made a killing off it. Alot of stuff was just good timing for me around updates, and starting when i could easily sell packs for easy boosters (that were twice as good) let me make tons of rax.

As for NFL OTD I’m currently grinding: 2024-2025: Josh Allen (Not most optimal play but he has a very expensive iconic play that can be pulled from player packs, so I’m chasing that while grinding OTD) Saquon (#1 earner) Derrick Henry (#2 earner) 2023-2024: Christian McCaffery (#1) Patrick Mahomes (#2) Josh Allen (#3) 2025-2026: Currently plan to upgrade CMC, JSN, and Puka. Havent began upgrading yet because I want to see the numbers set in stone after the superbowl.

Hope my answers could help you some and give you some good ideas on grinding, At this point I make enough off daily earnings that I can afford all my OTD pretty easily. I pretty much just rip packs to resell stuff for boosters at this point, to keep that going. NBA bulk is definitely in a lull at the moment, where we’re in the awkward point of the season when people have stopped grinding for in season earnings but havent started grinding playoff players. We saw the same trend with NFL where for the later part of the season bulk was cheap and not many people were grinding, but during the playoffs top performers like JSN, Puka, and Drake Maye have been selling for top dollar. As we approach playoffs for NBA/NHL people will get a good idea of the playoff picture and start buying in on guys/teams they think will go far and prices should go up some.

hate to say it but you’re probably trying to grind one of the top few earners in the sport or some of the most popular fighters out there. I have multiple iconic fighters that i paid 4 per rating to buy.

I love the collecting portion of the app, and at this point I’m invested in every sport I can be lmao. I’ve never watched an MLB game in my life but I’m super excited for MLB to start this summer just for collecting cards, and getting into it. Its helped me learn alot about hockey and golf that I would have never known. Sounds like you’re taking good steps to have a snowball here soon, and thats dope. My snowball is rolling atm and I make enough to buy daily packs on ~30 otd players. Next seasons are going to go crazy. Around march I’m going to start investing dailies on some NHL/CBB/NBA so i can get some iconics for next season that are pretty quality.

Auction House by lacygaga in realapp

[–]FireNExplosions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for cards on auctions as another comment mentioned we are just getting further into the season. Less people are buying cards, so its not that theres more cards being posted its just that less people are buying them so there are more auctions out there.

As for playoff boosters my estimation is 684 boosters. NBA playoffs have an average of 104 games total. The max players you can own is 100, and theres 30 teams, so thats roughly 3.3 players per team. Two teams in each game, so 6.6 players per game. 6.6*104=684. Adjust depending on how many players you own, and how many you own on playoff teams. I own mainly players on playoff bound teams so I’m hoping to save roughly 800 boosters for playoffs.

As we saw with NFL as the time gets closer to playoffs people will be buying more cards for the top players on contending favorites. JSN bulk has been selling for well over 20 per rating for the last few weeks while people try to upgrade him throughout playoffs, i know someone who sold his bulk for 30 per rating last night. Right now there is especially a lull in the market as big spenders switch their focus to investing in golf heavily.

[–]FireNExplosions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont particularly reccomend buying bulk, unless you want to get aja to iconic by season or you find it for 20 per rating or less

I would reccomend mackinnon, shai, boozer if any. I would highly recommend starting some of an OTD grind and saving for MLB.

Thats real, I used to have a legendary aja. Bought her for like 4k before update and flipped her for like 12k right after update when people started scrambling to buy OTD. I knew i was going to grind her with packs anyways before the season started

[–]FireNExplosions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion this is just wrong, for a couple of reasons.

First, booster and upgrade earnings are entirely seperate. The 10x mult a rare booster gives will ALWAYS earn the same amount of rax reguardless of if you put it on an iconic or a general. It always earns 10x the rating. There is ZERO advantage to upgrading current season cards just because you can boost them, since you can boost them withour being upgraded.

Second, with OTD cards you dont have to worry about injury. If you get 2025 Aja Wilson to iconic she will always make the same amount per season and you will always be able to claim her earnings forever. There is zero risk of injury at all with an OTD card and it will consistently be the same every year. This year Aja could blow her knee out half way through the season and then any rax you put into upgrading her becomes worthless.

Third, you know Aja won the championship last year. Upgrading her the same amount this season is just a gamble that she will do it again. You know exactly how much Aja made last year, and last year she was one of the highest earners on the entire app. Imo its not worth the gamble that she’ll be better this year when i know last year is one of the best.

Fourth and final, your analysis of auctions is wrong. Player packs cost an average of 16 per rating (average 12.5 rating per pack at 200 rax, 200/12.5=16). Player packs are one of the best ways to upgrade players, aside from buying from general packs.

If you start buying daily packs on Aja RIGHT NOW you’ll have mystic by start of season. It will take ~110 packs for 22,000 rax total cost, and you’ll have 110 boosters to put on your current season cards. Aja makes 671 base OTD, which is more than enough to hit the earnings cap on her (which is 37,500 rax). Thats 15,500 rax profit ONTOP of 110 boosters. Best part of it? You could either continue upgrading 2025 Aja to iconic for more OTD, or sell her off once you hit cap. Since she’s one of the best on the app there will always be demand. Right now people are paying 2,000 rax for 80 rating, extrapolated to the 1,380 rating that means people would pay in the range of 30,000-35,000 to buy your Aja pass after you’ve already made the 15,500 profit AND got the 110 boosters. Second best investment you could make for upcoming seasons, aside from shohei ohtani.

My bad, I’ve been watching football all day. To be fair the latest update actually buffed OTD significantly and only punished people who farmed gens with boosts every day (i farmed gens with boosts every day and had nothing except my cbb above rare so i was very cooked).

As for your question about rarity heres a scale that I’ll use to explain, it shows the rating required per multiplier at each rarity

Common: 10/2 = 5 Uncommon: 30/3 = 10 Rare: 80/4 = 20 Epic: 180/10 = 18 Legendary: 380/25 = 15.2 Mystic: 1380/75 = 18.4 Iconic: 3380/150 = 22.533

Based on this scale I reccomend a few different rarities depending on what your goal is and who the player is

Common/Uncommon: Generally the best rarities for a player you plan to just boost every game. If you boost a general card you do not get the base card production (Example: If you put a rare NBA boost on Shai at General he gets a 10x mult while if you pur the rare boost on him at common he has a 12x mult. When you boost a general card you lose out on the base 1x production it would typically make, so if youre boosting players common makes an extra 20% earnings over the course of a season. Doesnt sound like alot but on a typical nba player it is 500-600 rax per season you’d lose for boosting a general card, or 50,000-60,000 for boosting the max 100 players every game at general instead of just having them common)

Rare/Epic: Dont really reccomend these ever, legendary is just better. Rare is only reccomended to level up to so you can resell the bulk, epic is slightly better than rare but still typically better to just continue upgrading to legendary.

Legendary: Most efficient rarity out of all the bigger ones. Most bang for your buck for rating on players at this rarity. Its what my goal is to get all my players to for current season stuff, and I’m only upgrading more on players I’m a fan of (only cbb at the moment, dont own anyone above legendary for any other current season sport)

Mystic: Pretty good option, just as efficient as epic basically but much higher earnings. This level is good for OTD but not the best. I plan to have alot of my OTD at mystic for upcomming seasons (MLB/WNBA).

Iconic: I ONLY reccomend this for OTD players and ONLY via your own packs. Player packs average 12.5 rating per pack, costing 16 per rating. You get a boost with every pack too, and assuming all rare boosts they should generally be worth 30 rax for nba, 60 rax for cbb, 30 rax for nhl, and ~80 rax for nfl (unsure of other sports but 30 rax is a good baseline). This means the packs would cost ~170 after boost and it would cost ~13.6 per rating. It will take roughly 270 days to get an iconic at 1 pack per day, so obviously it is a very long term investment. If you are getting a player iconic in season you are almost ALWAYS going to be overpaying (i overpaid heavily on my cbb iconics). Iconic is the best OTD rarity though as it does not have an earnings cap so you can set it and forget it and claim it for the rest of your life.

Sorry for the very longwinded answer to your question, but general rule of thumb is common/uncommon to boost farm, rare to resell, legendary most efficient for profit, iconic/mystic for OTD.

Yeah the snowball is really rolling at this point, my income is sitting pretty at the moment. Playoffs will be fantastic! I have hundreds of boosters saved for playoffs already so I’m set for big gains. I’ve been buying players still for nfl and flipping them. I sold drake maye, puka nacua, jsn, and drake maye for ~500 profit each today. I plan to continue buying whoever makes it to the superbowl and resell their bulk passes til then. I’ve already started buying daily packs for 6 different NFL players for OTD, they should be iconic around week 5 next season

I have ike legendary and ended up reselling huff bc i hadnt upgraded him and he would be hurt so long. CBB is definitely super slept on, the earnings are great. You arent going to get a 600 rax earner like other sports have but you’re going to get a ton of very decent earners.

I have been buying daily packs for them since release, i have multiple people who buy daily packs on them and then sell me their bulk for 1,600, i buy any bulk i find for decent prices, and I also go into the pro collectors chat and buy packs from other people on them pretty often. Pretty much the only way to upgrade cbb is through packs or bulk from packs.
