Yes totally worth it if you pull elite, just like buying regular packs are worth it if you pull trout.
Never buy packs...

First time around they were. Now that the pool is more diluted so no. Odds are too low for your to make back your stubs.
It's interesting to see the different perceptions of risk assessment.
I personally didn't buy them the first time around because the high tier was only going for around 60-70k, so I didn't see risking 35k for such a small profit as worth it. Even though there was a safer floor because the lower tier was 15kish.
When I saw the elite tier prices at 200k, I thought it was a better gamble, sure it's 1 in 10 instead of 1 in 4 making a profit, but it's a much bigger profit. I bought one pack, pulled the elite and didn't buy the second
Obviously I got lucky, I could have easily lost 30k there.
I don't think your or my interpretation of what's worth risking is the one right way, I just thought it was interesting how people interpret risk.Yeah I think mine is more born from a mistrust of pack odds. For me anytime there are packs with a smaller pool I'm more willing to take the chance on them. As soon as they start introducing packs with 3 tiers I don't trust the weight on the elite tier and mid tier usually won't return your money at that point. Nice pull on the one you bought. I pulled what was the top tier once the first time around and then 2 of that same tier the second time around. Just holding the most recent two for now until they go back up a bit. Ended up just buying Banks and Chapman.

Honestly for me they have been worth it, bought all four and went 2 for 4 pulled the better round one out of the first two and then pulled the elite round one out of the second two, wish I would have sold Greinke and then bought him back for sure but still way ahead with Chapman going for 180,000ish.

I’d say if the mid their guys were worth more like 40k it would be, but even they are a loss right now. You’re 90% likely to lose stubs, so probably not worth it. I came real close - the allure of pulling a card worth almost 200k is real. But then I thought of A) how mad I’d be if I pulled a 6k card and B) how likely that was to happen and walked away.
