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.
I got the The Big Train, Walter Johnson himself from a standard pack this morning. He fit in nicely letting me sell a Bauer I replaced my number 5 with a number 1 to sit on top of my rotation with Randy Johnson.


Edit: Actually it was early afternoon.
