Mid-May, 2029

Mid-month I was sitting on 3000+ PPs, and couldn't make up my mind whether to open 3 card packs - or accumulate the PPs until the end of the season and try to pick up someone in the Auction House. The Auction House leans much more toward getting someone that you can actually use, but opening card packs brings me back to my childhood.

I quickly estimated what I would have by the end of the season, and it totally about 12-15,000 perfect points if all went well. Looking over what was available for that amount guaranteed a Diamond player - but not much else after that.

After a day or two of rolling that over, I decided to roll the dice and see what 3 card packs would bring me.

Although I would have been happy with a Diamond player I could use, I actually pulled a 1972 Johnny Bench 100 Historical All-Star card!!! He could immediately take over catching duties with Wilson Ramoes (83) as my backup. In addition, I pulled CF Brandon Nimmo (84) who could immediately backup all three OF positions.

Certainly can't complain, and I should get enough PPs to open at least 9 more packs before the end of the season.
