What Card Has Been Your Best Return On Investment?

This is awesome. I took this question as what card has played the best that you paid a high price for but this is great.

How did you get up to 10million in the first place? Are you working the market from scratch or did you have to spend to get your start? Also how do you evaluate what cards will be good investments to make profit - position - scheme - program? Id like to do some of this myself, hate giving EA $ hoping for good booster cards - much rather just have the coin funds to just buy the team I want like yourself!

I can't speak on how he accomplished this but this saying applies to CUT as well, "The rich get richer." The more coins you have the bigger the profits. Building a coin stack gives you flexibility to INVEST in cards or to TRADE cards (buy and resell higher). Just like with the stock market the auction block has volatility in certain areas. The higher the price and limited supply the easier it is to profit.

prolly WR Travis Hunter. Dude goes crazy.

I have over 50 million coins NMS.

It took me a LONG time to get to a million. Once I got there, it was super easy. I can control and manipulate the LTD markets on PlayStation to whatever I want them to be. Olu played WELL above his price, so I bought every single one that popped up over days under 250k and ended up with 50 of them.

His worth for what he does was at least double that, so I slowly started releasing them at more fair prices and people were willing to pay.

I have 60 of another LTD right now... Slowly releasing him back.

I did an analysis of my trades over a month and over 95 percent of them were winners even after the tax. Once you get a huge stack, you basically can't lose money. I finger fumbled a trade the other day and bought a card at a bad price. I decided to just buy the rest of them and offer them higher and still made money on it. Once you have millions, you can decide the price of cards.

I've got 2 million right now with TMMS (too much money spent) would you say OL are good investments compared to a WR or other skill POS since they are dropped less frequently? 

I'm always nervous to buy cards to trade because I imagine EA screwing me over and dropping a better card at that same position the next day and the price tanking.

Thanks for the advice. I'm also on PS, I'll hit you up when I'm going to buy a card to play with since you'll prob have it haha! I'll buy at fair prices too maybe we can work on a % discount if I buy enough lol. JK mods and EA.

OL are tough. Most people just trade them on their overalls and don't go deep into their stats. They're also usually much more illiquid. I'll buy them for the mins and such, but I don't trade them often. I ended up with so many Olus for that reason... Not a lot of people go hunting for OL like they do with QBs, HBs, and WRs.

QBs and WRs are also hard to trade IMO. They trade at a premium to other cards. Those and CBs are probably the hardest for that reason. The expensive cards in those 3 positions fall off quickly whenever a new good card is released at those positions.

HB might be the easiest. You can get cards at the min there all the time, and they're super liquid. When I first started scalping, I almost exclusively traded HBs. I scalped one card over 100x 2 seasons ago (was RB Spears IIRC). I don't really trade the expensive HBs as they do fall off quickly, but the 96s and 97s are basically free money. I did buy 40 of the Names of the Game 98 HB, but he was so cheap that I was guaranteed to make money. HBs are probably still at least 20-25 percent of what I trade. I can't remember the last time I ever lost money on an HB.

QB is the only position I can recall losing money on multiple times. I rarely trade them for edge now and just buy the ones I'm okay using and never keep a big inventory of them.

Thanks Fletch, you should have a CFB market trade consulting service lol.
