Ok this worked, now let's talk about the BS that is chase packs. I'll start.
I've only seen 1 all year, they supposed to have a chance to appear in standards but the odds must be 1 in 10k or worse,and then what's even worse is IF you finally do get one it's really horrible odds to get the card, 75k for the guaranteed pack is really not worth it when its gonna be an 85 LS every time.
wouldn't be so bad if they spread them around but it's several collections that are uncompleteable because of chase cards. -
Couple of them were down to 20K a few weeks ago. (I know. I was in the middle of flipping them when they went down) before the Bautista Collection dropped.
With BR handing them out as Flawless rewards, it shouldn't be too long before enough of them enter the ecosystem to get prices back down to reasonable levels.
-
@PAinPA_PSN Completely agree. I've pulled Ohtani more than I've pulled a chase pack (2-to-1).
-
Exactly me too. I would say pulling diamond stadiums also super rare lol

All well and good,but all of us non flawless gods would like to get them too.

It’s comical but also sad how oblivious SDS is to situations like this

Exactly. I sold off all my inventory that I (thankfully) hadn't collected for an insane amount of stubs, and I'll buy them back when everything cools off. Now, if that collection reward had been Honus...

Once these cards enter the "Multiplayer Program", the prices tank. Then, a hack like me can get them.

This is the first year that I don't have all stadiums. I refuse to pay thousands of stubs for them. It's weird that they're still so expensive entering August. I think in year's past SDS released them in packs? I can't remember.
That said... I always like the no-doubt HR call "Van down by the river". At about 10,000 stubs recently, I certainly wasn't going to buy that. But... I pulled it in a standard pack a few days ago.

You'd see a Stadium Choice pack hidden in a Conquest Map or at the tail end of a XP Path every once in a while. Not (yet) this year.
SDS didn't help demand by making Kingdome the Collect reward instead of Polo Grounds like it had the past few years.
-
Stadiums being completely gone from packs is just another joke from SDS
-
I pulled Shea yesterday, though I've only gotten a stadium 3 or 4 times this year,so the drop rate is incredibly low
-
Can they do pipeline past kyle schwarber next

I've pulled 4 myself, the only two I care about are the Mets ones and Shea was one of the ones that I pulled and Polo Grounds was easy to get.
-
Still don’t have Shea or Forbes which I kinda want more now after visiting the remnants last month…but SDS completely ignores or purposefully forgets…don’t know why…but they don’t really care as much as they claim

So I have over 400 hours in the game. Almost every program is done besides Yu Darvish and Speedway which will likely both be done by Saturday. I just play the game. I don't flip, I'm not in immortal division, I don't spend money and my pack luck is virtually non-existent. I am I think 3 collections from Jose not counting the topps now collection which I punted a while ago. I would need like 46 cards and say even at an average of 20k which is reasonable would be 920k. All star I need and I need 5 cards which probably average what 80k? Spotlight won't be too bad but 2nd half is another bad one hidden with Chase cards that I didn't get with my .000001 % pull rate. I don't need Jose right now by any means but I am looking at maybe 2 months to get him without some serious help. Obviously I don't mind grinding but that feels quite excessive. For someone that plays as much as I do, I think almost a month long grind would be reasonable but I think it will be more. The problem is the chase cards. I haven't pulled one all year.
