Next time just throw the $50 in your nearest garbage receptacle

I'm saving that particular $50 for tomorrow night's visit to the local watering hole across the street (ha ha)

Haha that’s a cheap night!

I did the same but I kept hutch. Saw him go from 2m to 750k in ten minutes :(

Ouch!  Glad I sold right away.  Honestly, if Gronk hadn't dropped below 2M at the time I probably would've just taken the coins from Hutch and run.

On a positive note, Hutch is up over 800K (if you're on PS) so maybe holding him will work out

I'm a lightweight and have to cross 6 lanes of traffic without dying

Congrats if you had fun, lesson learned if you didn't.

This is actually a valid question.  Depending on how far we are into the MUT season I have a set threshold range of coins I like to have on hand.  I don't like to fall below that threshold.  Had I used the quicksells I had banked, I would have fallen below that threshold.  

I chose to take a chance on a medium sized bundle for a player that I wanted and fits my theme team.  Had I not got Hutchinson I would have simply sold what I got and added to my stack.

i understand your view, but you could have just bought coins later if you needed them by doing another ltd bundle...

I'm the same way. I have to remain above 2 mil at this point in the game. Last year it was 10 mil. Later into the game of course.

50 dollars+ for one player that will be obsolete in 2 months, let that sink in. Playing NMS is much more rewarding.

What's your overall? How much time in game? What's your coinstack?

Yes it’s much more rewarding to play for hours  on end to end up with outdated cards and names you don’t care about. I don’t understand this nms superiority complex nobody should care what someone else does with their money as it’s theirs😭. If you’re nms great for you but nobody cares.

I found I enjoy the game more when I don’t spend(besides the season pass) because when I spend and lose I wonder wtf I am doin, at least when I lose and spend minimally I dont ’care’ as much. Very rarely are one or two cards gonna change the outcomes of most of my games haha

TBH take however much you spent and divide it by how many hours you play. Odds are, most other hobbies would cost much more/ hour. Don't feel bad for spending your money on something you enjoy. People out here love to tell others how they should spend their money.

Also a valid point - but there is no guarantee there will be a LTD coming that I want.  I'm a pretty strict Patriots theme teamer (other than cards needed for milestones and I have alternate lineups for that).

Not to say there isn't any likelihood NE will get another LTD, they probably will.  This was just a "perfect storm" of timing to pair arguably the best TE in the game with a high end Patriots QB.
