<![CDATA[Shop Packs are out of touch]]>I'll preface this by saying as a NMS guy I don't ever buy packs in the shop and nor should you.

However, April Spotlight just released a couple of hours ago and one can buy a 25K stub pack that gives you a 1 in 4 chance of getting a card that is already as low as 26k for Chase (so, a loss, as a seller).

You'd have to be a gambling addict or an idiot (or both) to even contemplate spending 25k for a 25% of...making a small loss (and a 75% of making a huge loss).

This isn't even gambling - it's a guaranteed loss! So who would buy?

Packs are always out of touch. Extremely overpriced with terrible odds.
