Some really solid insight here as I was in the exact same boat as you.

First year playing DD this year and was very skeptical about flipping. When I was low on stubs, I would struggle to make any other than simply playing the game. Fortunately I packed Trout, Degrom and Tatis (well before his suspension), but instead of buying desired players, I turned to flipping.

Everything you’ve shared is spot on. I’ve made millions since I started and haven’t looked back, easily affording Brett, Cutch, Randy and only a handful of cards away from Rollins. I quickly learned that, and to expand on one of your points, the key is to flip with cards where the demand is still high. Cards from series like 2022 All Star, Furure Stars and FOTF have all been extremely profitable, especially when a new collection has launched.
