This is a story about happiness and fulfillment!

My Senators theme team completed the two Senators related missions, but as it turns out there are four more missions rewards I can use. Two of those missions are live collections, and given that this team has barely ripped any packs it was way more cost effective to purchase the rewards directly. That left two historical missions.

I had a pleasant happy Friday evening as I was able to complete one of those historical missions. I'd been stuck for about two weeks trying to get one last card for the St Louis Browns mission. The 84 OVR Judnich card is often the highest rated card people get for the mission; as a result it's listing for around 15k PP now. However, I instead wanted the 93 OVR Harlond Clift card - since he played with the Senators this is a card I can actually use on my team. And I card I'm considering actually using for reals! Someone put the Clift card on sale Friday evening and I purchased it posthaste (interestingly enough, since that card goes up for sale so rarely, it must have been showing a pre-collection pricepoint for the AH, so the card ended up being cheaper than the Judnich card to boot!).

A funny thing about the Browns mission is that there are four Browns players who had stints with the Senators (which means they are eligible to play for my theme team): Courtney, Cullenbine, Newsom, and Clift. Plus the Sisler reward of course. The Senators theme team only has 4 eligible catchers and three of them are low silvers (Courtney being one of them) so I'm using him vs RHP this year. The Senators also have very little pitching (and almost no relief pitching) so Newsom is serving as my long reliever. And Clift is a potential 3B/UT guy who I'm giving a shot this season. Sisler is, of course, starting at 1B this year for me (I moved Sievers to LF).

Now it's back to watching for the two last cards I need for that one remaining mission. Luckily, I can use one of them on my team, so another pleasant coincidence. And once I finish that "all" I'll have to do is save up money to purchase the remaining players I want on the team. That's a lot more direct (but a lot less fun) than completing missions though.
