1 million stub choice packs

At this point SDS should drop 1 million stub BR and World Series packs....
Before people jump down my throat about rare cards and what not, understand it’s February the new game will out soon and some people have buy orders and want Chipper or Willie or Bob Feller before next year comes out...
I don’t think If. you play BR or Ranked and these packs come out you are not going to not play. If you’re playing right now it’s because you like game... I do get the whole notion of get better and what not, but we’ve never had a situation like this were people are waiting months for cards..
SDS sells stubs and you pay currency for them, this has always been a way for average players to get players that are harder to get or they’re skill doesn’t allow them to. I understand they’ve had non sellable World Series cards before I get that... But the fact that these cards are sellable and are sitting here unattainable is also not good..
I close this by saying make the packs unsellable so if you do make World Series or go 12-0 you still get rewarded...

I still disagree for the sole reason it creates unwanted precedent. There are other ways to prevent these issues from happening, like not imploding the stub economy by handing out millions to every single player. I've argued this time and again throughout the year and people will tell me each and every time "how can you possibly say that having too many stubs easily accessible for everyone can ever be a problem?". Well here is your answer. This whole inability to acquire those cards is a direct result of the game's economy as it is. High demand (everyone has millions to burn) and very low supply (going 12-0 is way harder than making 5 million stubs this year) results in extreme scarcity. Literally economy 101.
Not to mention this very important side effect that everybody seems to neglect: why are the orders of the exclusive cards filled so slowly? Because the BR goons who provide the supply of the cards have no incentive to play anymore as a direct result of this economy as well; we are all sitting at the 5 million stub limit and we have every card. What is there to play for if we can't use the cards and can't make stubs on it either. And even if we could make stubs, there's nothing to spend them on.
So in conclusion, no, we don't need a pack like this. What we need is a more balanced economy.
Edit: the precedent argument is still the most important aspect I argued. People need to learn to accept that you can't always have it all and if you don't like that, I suggest you start putting in some serious hours to win the cards yourself; they're right there for the taking. If you don't have that time or you can't compete with good players for some other reason, tough luck. Guess that means you won't use the card. That's not the end of the world you know.

The cards are a trophy essentially. Is Mays better than Mantle? Is Ted Williams better than Soto? Is Gary Carter better than Salvador Perez? Is Albert Pujols better than Lou Gehrig? You don't need these cards. You want them because they are rare.

They should take the million bid cap off and let the real value and fun begin.
For the card collector guys it would be great to have an alternative method type program to earn the card for the binder. Earning the card with that method would not allow for the card to be used online and certainly not sellable.

I would be for this as well, but with the addition to not only get rid of the bid cap but also the stub cap. If I would somehow be able to build up a stub bank of 200,000,000 stubs then by all means let me.

Mays is better than Mantle, but you are absolutely correct otherwise
