A for instance is the 92 Ashburn card, which is very good in low diamond tournaments. If you've completed the BBRef set then you have a lot of combi food for this card, as almost none of the low diamond BBRef cards are useful in league but are very useful for upgrading Ashburn (or any other BBRef combinator you might draw). Those, plus the relatively cheap Robin Roberts (about 7K for 1600 combi points) makes for an inexpensive upgrade to Level 5. Fill in the extras with long-time teammates Willie Jones and Curt Simmons (inexpensive Silvers).
Some Combinator tricks:
1. Use locked cards that aren't otherwise useful and are unlikely to be added to new missions (yes, it's guesswork).
2. Look for cards that deliver more combi points than they cost (like getting 300 combi points for a Silver that costs 150).
3. Avoid using anything above a Silver as combi food unless it adds at least 500 points, and obviously avoid using cards that are part of an uncompleted mission.

I love my collection more than the combinator opportunity. Will only use duplicates really.
Sure, I could blow up my entire collection and have a great silver tournament team using all my 102 perfects. But then what of my main roster?
I have to pick between having one single good team that can only play in tournaments, or a balanced team that can play in any era's tourneys and hunt down promotions?
Or go broke and have both. My mortgage payments would be pissed.
