We shouldn't all have access to the best cards. People should get some type of rewards for doing great things in the game like going 12-0 or making it to WS just like everyone shouldn't get a trophy just for playing in a league. If they were to make these packs then it should definitely be more than 100,000 stubs though.
I think these cards should be exclusive, but not this exclusive. By no means should they be given away in packs, but in previous years you had to either pay up in skill or in stubs. This year everyone has the stubs so you either have to pay up in skill, refresh your game/computer screen at the perfect time to get early in line, or just pray to ramone that you get the card before MLB 21 comes out. WS and BR 12-0 guys can still be rewarded without completely shutting off everyone else. This was never this much of an inflation problem in previous years. The only other time I can think of that any cards were at the limit were Harper/Bagwell/Alomar in 17, but the cap was 500k. You “get gud” people need to get a grip when two of the best players on this forum @mitchhammond24 and @raesONE recognize this problem themselves
I mean ya maybe two of the people who are in that higher level agree with you but there's also a bunch who probably don't so throwing two names out doesn't really mean too much to me to be honest but I can understand what you're saying. I guess the benefit the better players get is not having to wait in a line or paying one million stubs for those cards but I just don't have the mindset that I deserve to just use any card I want just because I play the game.

Just remove the stub cap on those cards so there isn’t a line. I’ll gladly pay over 2 million for Mays if I could
Problem with that is people loaded with stubs will just buy them all up and put up ridiculously high prices, and we’re back to square one where only a.few people can get the cards
The difference is you can work to earn stubs (or buy them), so if Gehrig costs 3 million stubs, you can get there with effort. Right now all you can work on is waiting in line.

I think we're confusing "exclusive" and "rare" with "best." For the most part, I think SDS does a good job about making sure the BR and WS cards aren't necessarily the "best" in the game. There are obv some exceptions (Willie, Wagner, maybe Chiperoo), but I don't think many people would call Gary Carter, Johnny Bench, Roberto Alomar, Rickey, Bob Feller, etc. to be the "best" cards in the game.
I think we would all have a very valid beef if SDS only handed out a very small and limited number of Finest Soto, PotM Tatis, Mantle, Trout, Foxx, Griffey, Kluber, Babe, etc. I doubt anyone would quiver in their little pink panties if they face an opponent with Johnny Bench, Casey Mize, Pujols, and Eddie Mathews or whatever.

I agree, but I think the point is if I'm a rich fatcat I should be able to buy whatever card I want if it's on the market for however many beans I want. Lines are for the little people.

just increase the cap to 5 or 10 million

This is a lesson in communism. if you refuse to change the pricing policy you will end up with a huge shortage as demand stays high. Move to a capitalist society and you just raise the price and demand goes down and so does the line.
Makes me think of bread lines back in the days of the Soviet Union.

Yea madden does not have a cap and it sux. Pay 10mil for one card. I like the cap. I don’t have the answer but I do know something has to change. The best players in this game should be rewarded for being that good but cards like that should not be locked away where most won’t be able to use them. Lou Gehrig is one of my favorite all time players and I won’t get to use him because I can’t beat the extreme showdown or a few extreme challenges to save my life. Not cool
Do you not have 3800 stubs? You can buy Gehrig in the market and play with him all you want to.

Do what? Is Gehrig an event reward for that? Not seeing the connection here.

This thread has given a little insight to posters political beliefs. Interesting.

I hate the cap. Personally, I think the market is too regulated in this game. What is this, China?!?!?!

SORRY I DIDNT SAY THAT LOUD ENOUGH. NOTHING TO DO WITH GEHRIG, I WAS JUST ASKING HOW EXCITED YOU WERE FOR THE NEW EVENT WITH ALL THESE GREAT FUTURE STARS CARDS

Agreed. I still don't understand why the 94 Zobrist, other than being in short supply, is so expensive. Doesn't make anyone's roster with all the 99s floating around and even with the multi position eligibility, that alone surely doesn't make him useful enough to justify spending 200,000+ on him?

Well said....and having Chipper, he definitely is not even close to the best 3rd base option....and SDS has given everyone access to Machado who blows him away in every regard

And be careful what you ask for....anyone can work themselves to 1 million stubs, but eliminate the caps of what you pay and what you can earn, and the people who are already crazy flippers will go even crazier, and the costs will go sky high..... plus, keep in mind SDS is in this to make money, selling stubs.....people will buy if they feel they can realistically get cards they want.....No cap, the crazies will take a large part of those willing to buy stubs out of the market....

Collectors. It's because he is rare, that he's expensive. His stats make no difference at this point, as not having him leaves a hole in a collection. Compounding his rarity is the fact that a number of people who have him, no longer play the game.

That you can say Machado blows him away in every aspect, just goes to show what's wrong with this year's game. I have Machado, but he'll never play over Chipper. Chipper may not have the better card, but he's the better player, and I'll take the hit to put the more deserving player on the field.

Machado’s swing is absolute garbage too. He might be the most overrated card in the entire game. I’ve rolled with an all finest squad in RS this season and have hit over .300 with The entire lineup of Lindor, Mookie, Soto, Perez, Yaz, Candelario, and Marte. Machado is hitting .214 for me(all these games are on allstar mind you and Perez is hitting .588 with an 1.900 OPS. If I knew I would get him I would certainly choose Chipper over Machado.

If you removed the cap, 5 mil would be the cap, and there would still be a line
