I am counting each pack at a cost of 1,000 points (even the starter packs that were free) so my total investment was 121,000 points. I have received 138,228 points, or 1,142 points per pack. I haven't lost anything buying packs, and I continue to do it with all of the points that I earn. Someday, I will hit the jackpot.
By the way, 679 of the 726 cards that I got were bronze or iron (93.5%) and 650 of those were auto-sold. Nearly all of the return came from 1 perfect (deGrom sold early for 30K) and 11 diamonds (sold for an average of 6,783 points).

This is super interesting and to be honest not what I expected. If you had to guess, how much of the ~12% profit came from selling earlier when prices for players were higher? I expect packing someone like a Marcus Stroman early could have netted ~1.5k whereas now he's worth barely more than the 1k autosell.
