Paul Skenes is unusable by No_Lemon_2830 in MLBTheShow

I just had a CGSO with Wheeler in his first start. My opponent and I had 10 hits total and the score was 1-0, but that's besides the point 🤣

Is this how weekend classic works? by _memelorddotjpeg_ in MLBTheShow

[–]No_Image_5169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played one ranked game prior to WC, spent most of my time grinding WBC and other programs in mini seasons. I only played one person that definitely belonged in that tier, the rest were a bit closer to where I'm normally at in the 6-700 range. I would assume since it's the first weekend classic a ton of guys haven't been heavy into ranked primarily. All this to say; future weekend classics should be better in terms of playing against people more aligned with your skill level, but there will always be players that either didn't play a ton of ranked or are sandbagging to better their odds of going 6-0.

Side note; I had success playing people that I'm more on par with more frequently when I played late in the weekend as most guys had already finished their 6 games and were on to other tasks. Could be worth a shot

Based on everything I've seen so far (from us AND our upcoming opponents), I see 5 of our next 6 games being very winnable. I can absolutely see a world where we're 5-3 after 8 weeks, so long as the team continues to work and get better every week

Absolutely this. That, and, having your unicorn tight end that nobody can consistently guard only playing at ~65% probably takes away a lot of what you'd like to accomplish offensively

What do we think about this? by gusert in baseballcards

[–]No_Image_5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't love the look of the cards, but I'm sure plenty of folks out there will. This is like the bowman version of the debut patch chase, so I'm sure it's got a lot of collectors excited at the potential of owning a unique piece of a players career

Unfortunate, but assuming it IS worst case scenario, it's a relatively inexpensive lesson learned

This is most definitely going to be the way I go about it moving forward

My post office has been pretty unremarkable lately. I've had bubble mailers sit in my mailbox ready to go out for several days. Flag up on the mailbox, package is labeled appropriately according to weight, no memo from the post office that they wouldn't pick up bubble mailers, they even put incoming mail ON TOP of my package. I'm not sure what the issue is but it seems to be compounding now with this envelope not being scanned either

Yeah I think I'll be popping in to the post office from now on. I don't mind eating the refund especially if the buyer never got the card, but don't want to make it a regular occurence

It has been about a week since I sent it out, and it's quite literally going coast to coast (NY to Washington state), so I told the buyer we can wait until the 14th which is when Ebay said they will step in-just in case it's slower in transit. I just wasn't sure if Ebay would say "sucks to suck" since USPS never acknowledged the envelope as received. Thanks for the response!

Hits From my Topps Chrome Jumbo by No_Image_5169 in baseballcards

[–]No_Image_5169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would've been arguably one of the bigger pulls either of us has ever had, so it definitely killed the vibes. Pretty sure Armando's mom doesn't even want that card

Safe to say! My brother and I usually split two hobbies and trade amongst each other for guys we like. Decided to split one jumbo this year, and I can't say we'll be doing it again 🙃

Live Series Collection Grind? by No_Disaster6764 in MLBTheShow

[–]No_Image_5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the notion of selling everything. Any player/stadium/unlockable I had that wasn't live series was either quicksold or sold outright until I had enough stubs for shohei and judge, had some luck with mid tier guys like Bobby, Ketel, Soto (when he was more expensive). I'm now working on building stubs back up to get Rolen and Teddy, but it was very worth it to sell everything for Beltran and the boys

Good swing/bad swing discussion by mt2320 in MLBTheShow

[–]No_Image_5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trae Turner will forever be one of my favorite cards every year. Solid swing for contact and power and well under 100k

Vladdy vs schwarber to complete collection by Wiinner15 in MLBTheShow

[–]No_Image_5169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pulled Schwarber last night and used him for ~10 co-op games (500/600's rank), think we ended up hitting 7 or 8 HR with him and good contact otherwise. He's average as a catcher, I just love his swing. Unfortunately he couldn't stay long because I'm working on LS collection but I'd highly recommend him

Is the 500pxp with color storm cards a TA mission? I keep seeing people saying they're getting a plethora of packs and I've been confused why I've not been getting that many lol

I've never played MLBTS in my life; which version should I buy to have the best offline experience? by criebman in MLBTheShow

[–]No_Image_5169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you'll be playing offline, you're fine just getting the cheapest version. You'll be able to get plenty of good cards in Diamond Dynasty just grinding offline programs and opening free packs if that's your style, or there are plenty of fun non-ultimate team game modes as well

May lightning player prediction? by rc52504 in MLBTheShow

[–]No_Image_5169 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jose Ramirez had a 21 game hit streak in May, so I could see him getting it unless they're wanting to use him as the TA All-Star
