Community Blog: Making coin

Relvig Cire has 35 mil in the bank and three 95s on the market. His three ways to keep your coin stocked: spend more than you sanely should (don't), snipe the 95s while they are cheap, and buy on Wednesday to sell on the weekend.

Hello again, fellow coaches. Some of you are already quite aware of how this works, especially if you have a background in the stock market or finance. How do you keep a high level of coin in your account? Me personally? I have about 35 mil sitting in there right now, and I already have all of the top cards from the new Team of the Week #9 set that came out on 10 November. I also have several 95s among my sellable cards, and three on the market right now.

There are several different methods for keeping yourself well stocked:

Spending more than you sanely should

I have spent around $200 a week since the start of the new season. I sold quite a few homes as a Realtor and had some disposable income. I look at my bank account and wonder what the hell I was thinking. Then again, there are much worse vices I could be spending it on, so I could be doing much worse things (trying to rationalize here). I have over 3,000 sellable cards in my account. Don't be envious. There are much better things to spend money on.

Sniping

I made quite a bit of coin off Quinnen Williams, I will tell you. I probably had 50 mil after I was lucky enough to get three of him in some very lucky packs. What did I do afterward? I started to recognize that trying to buy these top cards off the market early on is very wasteful. Don't get me wrong: if you need that boost, you have the coin, and you are worried there are not many available, go ahead, at your own peril.

So what I started doing, when 95s were selling below 7 to 8 mil, was buying them, especially in the high-coin positions: WR (granted, no WR is a 95 yet), LB, DT, CB and S. By the end of the week, or the next week, the number of 95s available dwindles to two, one or, hopefully, zero. Those 95s might sit for a day, maybe even three, but by then someone wants one badly enough to buy at 13 mil, 15 mil or more. I sold Quinnen Williams for 17 mil. I bought him at 7.5 mil just five days before. I watch the 95s, and now the 96s, for a low price that I know I can make bank on in a week.

Like I said, I have every card, except for some of the weekend player cards. Those you can only get by luck. I have three 95s on the market right now, and seven more waiting to be sold when those cards dry up. I even have ten 94s. But here is the thing: if I can't sell them for the price advantage I want, I hold onto them, because toward the middle of the season they will be good cards for the PTCs that pay higher-rated cards, once those start getting over 96. You can't lose, honestly.

Buy on Wednesday, sell on the weekend

However, if you have the patience, watch the high-rated players you can afford. As they begin to populate the market, many coaches are trying to build up enough coin to buy a top player for their team, and are trying to sell what they have quickly. To do that, they usually list at or below the lowest current price on the market for that player. By Wednesday those players have flooded the tables, and the going price is usually well under the market value for that position compared with a standard Gold player of the same rating.

Take advantage! For example, right now you can get Matthew Golden in the new set, an 88 WR, for under 190K. By Wednesday I would not be surprised if you can get him for a decent amount lower. If he falls to 150K or lower, buy five of him, or whatever number you feel comfortable with. Then start looking at the price come Friday or Saturday. Those prices are back around 190K or higher. And if you are really patient, in another week that player will no longer even be on the market, and he will go even higher for the collectors who need him to fill out their book.

If you simply watch the trends and how the market works, you will learn what every player on the stock market knows: buy low, sell high. If you are smart, you could generate a couple of mil a week on this alone, unless you have NO life outside FHC 27. If so, go see a psychiatrist before you lose your house, wife, kids, car, etc. But if you are in PA and need to sell your house before it forecloses from your insane spending on packs, give me a call!

Go out there and get some coin!
