I will never tire of it because I want that Babe card. The fat man as many younger fans call him trained on women, cigars and booze and still dominated his era. If he were playing now, he would still dominate with all the training methods in use in modern baseball. Ohtani is a 2 way player and may never be any better than he is now in MLB. Based on his playing and pitching the Angels took a shellacking on his contract. Maybe they made enough in PR to offset the cost early. But if he does not get better that early boost will be gone and they will still be paying.. Babe was a pitcher first and one of the best until they realized this guy is too valuable to miss any days in the batting order.
So, we open packs  |
Yep. I know that I can maybe someday afford some one of the "cheaper" perfect cards if I saved up enough money, but there's no way that I could ever afford the more rare ones. So while I use the auction house for most of my team needs, it's a lot of fun to still open some packs and hope for the best.
It's also a lot of fun discovering other players, and other cards, that don't show up in the auction house very often. Like, for example, I have the DIamond Ben Zobrist 2009 All-Star, which I'm pretty sure has only ever sold once on the auction house (given its price history is 25k/25k/25k).
So yes, you open up a lot of packs, and it's definitely not the most efficient use of resources. But it's still fun, and a chance to hit it big if you get lucky.
