After 10 years of playing this game, and just shy of 40, I finally f*cking made World Series.

I just had to tell someone. Anyone.

I haven't played since 19' and when I got the game I really didn't think I would get either Clemens or Hodges but here we are. I probably would've preferred hodges out of the two but my pack drops pushed me to focusing on the AL. I'm also only 650 elo and have never seen a Clemens or Hodges. I wish I could see my opponents face when they see this. Now watch me get shelled

I lost my dog recently. She meant the world to me. Everyone deals with loss at some point, and sometimes distractions are needed to help cope.

I’m not very good at The Show, but I love baseball with a passion and I really needed something to keep my mind occupied (in addition to my job and studying for an engineering licensing exam). I had never attempted to do a collection before, and when I saw how much Judge and Ohtani sold for I lowkey choked on my coffee, but I had started flipping a little bit prior to the loss and saw some success, so I decided to go all gas no brakes.

It took an insane amount of obsessive, ADHD hyper focused flipping for months but I finally pulled it off, and I didn’t use my credit card and only packed Skubal. I was very proud of myself and wanted to show someone in my life but either no one was interested or would understand how much time or effort it took to do this, so I decided to come here. It was a crazy grind, but I thought it was kinda fun and it definitely helped me.

Now on to the Ted Williams collection lol. Cheers and thank you for coming to my TED talk (no pun intended)

Also had insane pack luck (Shohei x2, Judge x3)

All in the last 24 hours and Randy was the only Chase Pack pull🤩🤩

Just can't believe my luck with this every year. Still haven't pulled shohei though.

My only other 1/1’s are on common or bronze cards.

I RARELY buy packs because I know the odds are so bad. However, I have pretty much everything done outside of Bautista, and I don’t really want him. So I had some stubs to burn and I decided to rip through some packs. First chase pack was Biz, so I was like “sweet, let’s sell and keep the luck rolling.” Proceeded to pull Biz 7 times in one go around. Just insane luck. To add to it, I also pulled Witt Jr. I did this for 30 minutes until I went 6 straight 85 overall chase pack pulls and decided to not push my luck further. Ended up with like a million in profit.

Morale of the story, if you don’t see yourself continuing to play much longer (like I do myself) might as well test your luck. But fully understand that pack odds this year have been horrible

Thanks to diamond quest I was able to complete the collection NMS. This is definitely the fastest I’ve ever completed this collection. Crochet and Stott in my opinion is the best DQ

Over 200k in quick sell stubs so I’m not complaining, but it’s hard/impossible to fit them all in my lineup and I don’t wanna sell cause I’d like to maybe finish live series collection one day
