We dive into essential tips for making the most out of the MLB The Show 24’s early access period, focusing on accumulating MLB 24 Stubs, the in-game currency.
The Importance of Stubs
Stubs are more crucial than ever in MLB The Show 24, especially for completing the live series collection. With power creep making a comeback, early live series cards, particularly those rated 90+, become invaluable assets. These cards, enhanced by Inside Edge and supercharges, are pivotal for a competitive lineup early in the game.
Early Access Market Dynamics
The early access period is one of the most active times for the game’s market. Players open pre-order packs, sell cards, and rush to complete collections, creating a bustling marketplace. The importance of being active in the market during this time to buy low and sell high, leveraging the quick turnover for profit.
Flipping Cards for Profit
Flipping cards, buying low and selling high, is a recommended strategy to build your stubs. We suggest using the mobile app or website for efficient flipping and recommends consulting ShowZone for updates on profitable cards. The goal is to maximize volume over individual profit margins, spreading your investments across various cards to minimize risk and maximize returns.
Do

- Get creativity with what you flip
- Set it and forget it – check back every 30 minutes and remove old orders
- Quantity over quality early on
Don’t
- Try to only flip expensive/big margin cards
- It can work, but trying up all your stubs in one flip can be risky
- Get into 1 stubs wars – waste of time
- Work the market out your confort zone
- Get discouraged by others
Focusing on Programs and Rewards
We advise players to focus on programs and rewards that offer the best return on investment. Early on, prioritizing tasks that yield high-quality cards and stubs is crucial. This includes completing easy offline team affinity components and participating in events to earn and sell event rewards at a premium.
