My frustration level is rising as I've tried to complete some historical collections. I've been looking to complete one for a couple of weeks, and I guess it's partially my fault it's not done - that is, if you consider the fact that I don't want to pay 20k PP for a card I'll never use. And it hit me - if this were physical baseball cards and I wanted to complete my favorite team, I'd just buy more packs. But with historical collections, the odds of getting a historical card - never mind one that you're actually collecting - are so low that it's not worth buying packs. So we're sort of between a rock and a hard place: not enough cards in circulation to provide a good market, and not enough incentive to buy packs to make the market healthier.

Would this problem be addressed by some sort of pack with guaranteed historical cards? I'm thinking that would help (though the details would have to be fleshed out). Without some way to get an influx of historical cards into the economy, these collections are gonna be impossible to complete!
