You sell Trae now and you’ll never get him again unless you get lucky with a rewind pack. My guess is the rewind packs will be tiered with a base pack and an elite pack from here on out. But it’s your call.
I saw there were 2 rewind packs in the reward path. For the record, I don't play events, so are you saying that these packs are not true choice packs, they give you a few players to choose from similar to the RIB program?
You usually get to pick from like one of 5 players I think.

If you sell him you may never get that card back so I am not selling mine

I love events , my Trea turned into Trout

If only Trea's Finest card was any other team than the Dodgers, I would be putting in a bid for him. Sounds like he is really good BUT I am a die hard Giants fan and with that I can't do it. LOL
As silly as it sounds I just sold him because that reason

Trea Turner is the most fun player in baseball according to statistics (see video linked below). I think the same applies to his Finest Card in this game. Dude plays stellar defence at 2nd base (gets to those pesky balls up the middle that my pitchers never stop), has the same sweet swing as always but now with better stats, and he FLIES. He's incredible.
Lmao that vid pretty much boils down to “good hitter with speed = the most fun”
It’s just based on the statistics he chose to use, which is fine, but it’s still entirely subjective. Personally, I’d consider seasons like Chris Davis’ 2013 or Harper’s 2015 (even his 2021) to be more “fun”, because I couldn’t care less about a guy being fast or stealing bases (which statistically aren’t that valuable anyways). I understand why speed or stolen bases would be a big part of the “most fun players”, but they wouldn’t be a big part of my formula. I totally agree that the card is incredible though.
I don’t think Trea is the most exciting or best player in baseball but he is an incredible ball player and in this game he’s almost unbeatable. As for the stolen base comment. I don’t really care about stolen bases as fun or not. I do care about getting my player in better scoring position and taking away the double play option for the opposing team. Also go Chris Davis! Go Orioles. Lol
You’re totally allowed to think whatever you want about the value of stealing bases, but statistically they just aren’t that valuable. Modern statistics have shown that stealing a base just isn’t worth the risk of getting caught stealing and losing a baserunner. With how many homeruns are being hit, what base a guy is on doesn’t really matter that much anymore. A runner on 1B may as well already be in scoring position with how the game is now, so risking losing that baserunner just isn’t a necessary risk to take in the vast majority of situations.

I believe that.

That is correct but there are a whole bunch more choices though so the odds of those elite cards is much lower than with RIB
