You know there might be a pack but i just want to see a "meaty" program like last year where it cannot be completed in one sitting or so . I mean last year we sometimes got 1 or 2 of the special packs from these type of programs plus much better rewards then this year.
Historical comparisons: now you're talking my language!
Today is Day 41 of Release.
2023's Day 41 was May 3rd.
2023 Total Cards Released as of Day 41: 476
2024 Total Cards Released: 429
2023 Programs: 6 (for 83 cards) April Topps Now, Charisma, Mexico City, Starter, Great Egg Hunt, WBC
2024 Programs: 5 (for 35 cards, assuming you lump all the Season Awards into one): Season Awards, Starter, Great Egg Hunt, Jackie Day, Spring Breakout
2023 For-Sale Packs: 7 (for 58 cards) + 24 Diamond Duos (12 packs w/ 2 cards each)
2024 For-Sale Packs: 11 (for 83 cards) + 12 Headliners (1 card each)
So even though there has been some movement of cards from Programs to Packs, it's not as bad as some make it out to be. And that's ignoring as the season progresses, these packs are eventually going to be given away in programs, maps & miniseasons (as we started to see during the TA 1.2 Drop).
How can you say 35 and 83 are even remotely close? That is less than half the cards available from programs at this time compared to last year
I love your optimism that these packs are going to be in upcoming programs and maps. I really hope you are right, but how many of these special packs were in the latest conquest map?
