Really..Trout is not rare

I somehow packed Trout off a standard pack doing the Juan Marishal program. That helped me get Chopper. Second year playing. I was in disbelief for a few minutes too.

Either folks are just lying out their keester's about pulling Trout..which is likely because everyone lies about everything when they believe themselves to be anonymous..or Trout has go to be the easiest pull there is.
Just went back through all the mentions of Trout in the threads this year. Not just in the title but replies as well. 142 Trout pulls. That's just on this forum. That's just ppl that even care enough to post. Who the freak knows how many folks out there that don't drop into this forum (thank your lucky stars you don't drop into this asylum) pull Trout.
It's prob a combination of both..bunch of lyin' mofo's and Trout is about as common a pull as Ketel Marte.
C'mon already. Trout ain't nuthin but another generic. Don't use him as your poster child to incite stub purchases.
ive played since 2013 in DD and never pulled a trout

Last year was the first and only time I pulled trout. It so happened to be shortly after I was able to save up and purchase him for the first time ever as well.
Same thing happened to me last year. Pulled him about a week after I bought him. The one and only time...so far...hopefully...

If you finish the entire live collection except for one diamond card, and then only open packs to get that diamond card, you will see that all Live diamonds are as hard to pull as Trout. You likely will never pull that last needed diamond this year without buying tons of packs. I have heard that 90+ diamonds are harder to pull, but I do not believe that. If that is true, then that is secret market manipulation by SDS. Their odds say nothing except diamonds are 1:50 to pull (with the exception of special packs like the one at the end of the 4th inning program). This year I pulled Degrom, Tatis, and Cole, all as 90+ but not Liam Hendriks, and not Buxton, and not many other less than 90 diamonds. And I never buy packs. I earn plenty enough. I do not think Trout is any more rare than any other diamond. He is just more desired. If someone knows where SDS has ever said it is harder to pull Trout and other 90+ diamonds please point it out to me.
I don't know who that works for the company or has an agenda, is actually posting anonymously on this forum. I would bet every stub I've ever earned it's a lot with a lot of different profiles. And, that's ok and should be expected..it's their forum.
But, I could dig up tons of posts where the anonymous imply (outright state) that Trout is the most coveted and rare card around. It's like the holy grail of pack-land.
There is a reason for that. It reminds people that there lurks a card that is coveted. A card they do not have. This manipulates many people to spend money they might not ordinarily to pull that Trout card.
It's no deal to me personally. I don't fall for the manipulation tactics so much.
To answer your question. I have never witnessed an employee identified and credentialed as an SDS employee, or rep, make a public declaration at that granular of a level about anything.
Not to mention, with all the heat on gambling and loot-pack addiction, and other gaming companies changing their approach to packs on a revolutionary scale to avoid the wraith of the Feds....SDS would be more prudent than to formally cross that line.
Informally or anonymously? That's a different story.

Lol there’s probably over 100,000 packs opened every day, as a result there is a large statistical chance that a Trout is pulled every single day, it would actually be insane if he wasn’t.
I mean you don’t even need to look through the forum, go look at how many people have a Parallel of Trout. It’s thousands not 130 something.
ALL OF THOSE came from a pack, the FBI isn’t going to return your call.

The odds say 1/50 of pulling a diamond; they do not quantify more than that. It’s not on the up and up, but technically they’re not lying. If Trouts and other high 90’s were as common as 85-89, the market would reflect that. There’s a reason in years past and this year I keep pulling Bregmans, Springers, Haders, Olsons and others, but only one Acuna and none of the other 90s. Every year, my collection is 99.5% complete, and missing 5-6 gatekeepers to finish until I get the stubs to buy them or get a lucky pull.

I know statistics and probability. And, if the FBI comes to visit me, it ain't going to be about a console game. LOL
Just fun to try to shoot holes in manipulation attempts. It's sort of an unsavory thing...manipulation I mean.

What? You mean people are excited about pulling the most expensive card in the game?

I don't get too excited about pulling any card anymore. I guess I would probably think it fairly cool if I pulled Trout. Not even sure I would use him, though, because I got an all Cubs team that is doing OK.
It's just a card. I don't play the market, so it wouldn't be a huge deal for me.
I got semi-excited (well guess some lower-level endorphins fired somewhere) when I finally finished the Billy Williams thingie.

I agree, pulled Trout my very first year three years ago and never again, yet some guys claim they pulled him three times in a day. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
I have never pulled him ever

Let me ask you a very personal question then...Do you ever lose sleep over that fact?

No, its a game. I might vent on here about it but then once I leave the site I forget about it
-
During the pack sale I pulled basically every diamond in the game apart from acuna. I pulled 2 trouts like 3 tatis a degrom 3 coles it was nuts but I did open thousands and thousands of packs
-
Pulled him for the first time since 2017...I took advantage of the 50% off packs and bought a ton of the 20 packs...was one of the last ones I bought, but he was always the reason I never completed the live collections with the exception of this year...f2p btw...
-
I pulled him once and I assure you I've opened far more packs than most. He is rare for sure, I can't imagine the number of packs the game has opened over the course of a year.
-
Ok..he's rare. You've beat me down.
-
Yeah I have never pulled him in any packs and there is so many packs that you get in this game for free with all the Ballin is a habit packs, affinity ones and just standard free ones. I would love to pull that card one day lol. Best I got in quite some time is bellinger this year or mookie last year. My pack luck is atrocious though still manage to get the collections done.

Lots came from 12-0 BR runs too

haven't pulled him once this year and i've opened many 50 pack openings...
last year was my first year playing diamond dynasty and i pulled trout twice in the same pack...guess my luck ran out
-
Still have yet to ever pull Trout, but I did pull DeGrom last year when he was the most expensive LS card by almost 100k over Trout last year.
