Yeah, the golden goose is dead. Not touching the million coin bundle. the ONLY reason i'm considering it at this point despite trying my best to dump everything TODAY is the lightning chase. at the same time tho, i know the way to go would be to simply pick it up on the bay or here. there is something magical about that 1-day frenzy and i still think its the best design after the sigs. Where did you hear that there would be Lightning today? |

I have been playing for a month and a half and it was fun at first and I must admit that I have spent my fair share of money on it, but it is quickly losing steam. First, I can't afford to keep up and second, I decided to chase the Vintage set, the first set I tried to chase. Was it ever an eye opener, I managed to complete it by finding good traders including a couple on BHK, but the majority of the time, people didn't want any low number old inserts, they just wanted new stuff or sigs. It seemed such a chore, it didn't didn't feel fun.
I agree it's become too much and the fun is being taken iut of it.

I can't believe how quickly this app has burned me out. I think I am one of the "target market" and I just can't justify spending on this app like I have been. Especially when I sense that the end is nearer than I thought 2 months ago. This is not, nor ever has been, a long term business strategy capable of sustaining revenue growth and/or profitability. So much potential too, but run by a bunch of kids with little business sense.

Where did you hear that there would be Lightning today? sorry. no clue when it will come out. i was just saying that the 1M bundle would help if i was going to try to get one myself when it comes out. i'm praying that they release a lot more than the 29 they did for gordon. couldnt believe that i was able to pull one out myself that day. |

OK, I saw that you had asked TOPPSMIKE about Lightning in an article comment feed earlier today, but I never saw a response. I was hoping he had told you. Oh well... |

yup. the inserts that will likely have "some" lasting value are the ones that are under 75 count or so. basically, anything in the super rare category and near the top of the page. the AGs like springer, posey, and sale still command sigs in trade right now and will likely end up like some of the tougher 2013 inserts that still get decent value.

Tell that to the asshats that keep offering base cards, MOA, or other garbage for them.  |

LOL. now that i'm down to only a few cards, the lock feature has been KEY for me along with the ignore trader feature. when i had my collection up to 99% it was an insane task just to weed thru all the riff raff. |

I agree, had to lock mine because of dumb trades...but the A&G set is probably the best set of the year in terms of holding some value. I like the Tribute set too, but not as much. |

And Bautista is always the award card? Never a normal insert? lol... SMH.... I hate blue jays cards as the award card because it severely limits the chances to acquire one. Btw if anybody wants to trade their Bautista swapped, ill trade my beckham draft and another gold or something. (Pretty similar counts) |
