SO after about three hours, I was able to make 99 Team Diamond Carmichael, sell him, and profit by about 1.5 million coins. This is probably not a factor for people FLUSH with coins, but for someone like myself that started with about 2 million, wanted to post some tips and some numbers:
So for starters, initial coin going in was 2,165,345
Ended with 3,736,115

My biggest piece of advice is, BUILD THE HIGH END CARDS and be as stingy as you can be with those prices. I sat down with a 12 pack of beer, a pen and pad, a calculator, some music, and got to work. For example: I built the 97 Tyler Nubin once for 436k, and he's usually selling for upwards of 500k. That is a BIG difference when you're talking about doing the set four times. The more I saved on the high end pieces, the more lenient I was on the low end pieces as the process went along. Bigger savings at the top.

My only big disclaimer is, I don't know how this process translates to non Carmichael builds, because the 98 is selling reliably for around 1.2m (at time of posting).
Also it goes without saying but I'mma say it anyway lol: SELL THE 98 each time you complete the set, UNTIL the very last one. You need that for the master set for your 99 LTD, which is where you recoup most of your coin.

The notepad and calculator was quintessential for me, so I could compare each set and see if and where I was over paying, or getting a steal. More quintessential by far, was patience.

ONE OTHER CAVEAT: On my second set, I decided to roll one or two training rolls, and pulled a 94 which DRASTICALLY reduced the cost of one entire cycle. As in, Nubin on cycle one was 436k. Nubin on cycle 2 with training add was 280k.

Anyway this has dragged on long enough, cheer boys if you bother to read, and happy hunting!
