Open thousands of packs sampling from a few thousand players and you'll get some players who rarely seem to occur, and others who seem to occur all the damned time. Interestingly, the fact that the data will spike for certain cards is proof that the system is actually random, as random number patterns will show that kind of variation. Sort of like 200 coin flips are more likely than not to have at least one string of six heads or six tails.

There's a bunch of 75+ cards that already exist in my league 3-4 times. Not a huge problem, but if that grows to 6-8 in the next week or two, then I'd say it's a problem.
