Cards required for Collections why some

[dta151]

Why are cards like Machado 92 and Jones 89, Donaldson 93 and all 3 other golds, Abreau 89, Kluber 92 and Kipnis 89 or Brantley 87, Stanton 94 Fernandez 92 and Gordon 89,Gomez 89, Wainwright 93,Tulo 93 and Arenado 89, Posey 93 and Bumgarner 92, not needed to complete the team collections but cards like 93 Harvey, 95 McCutchen, every single A's, royal, ranger, astro ,red sox ,cub ,phillie ,red ,Yankee ,94 Kimbrel , are needed to complete their teams collections? I cant see a requirement rating that determines it cause some teams need the diamond players others dont need them or even some golds. Basically when is a card not needed for the collection? What determines that? I thought it was when the player got to a 93 diamond but if that were the case Harvey,McCutchen,Kimbrel,would not be needed for their collections but they are. Anyone know?

In order to complete a collection, the only cards that need to be obtained are the one's that have a lower overall than the legend. For example, Steve Finley of the Diamondbacks is only an 85 overall, so you don't need Goldschmidt or Pollock to unlock him. On the contrary, Ralph Kiner of the Pirates is 98 overall and McCutchen is a 96, so you need McCutchen to unlock Kiner.

Thanks that helps a lot. So if a player gets raised to higher than the Legend is rated on that team they are no longer needed for the collection.

correct and likewise if they are lowered below him then they are required.

Which is the best collection to finish first? I just started playing yesterday. I have most of the Rays collection minus Archer and McGee. And now I am working on COL. Which should I focus on finishing?

Arizona and Colorado are cheap to complete.

Thanks and yea AZ did look cheap but Finley isn't that good looking. I already have Adam Jones in CF. And Mookie Betts coming off the bench. So I am set in CF for now.

Giants are fairly cheap as well
