The Frogs' owner has spent most of his "managing time" this week dealing with an enormous volume of cards from the pack-apocalypse these past couple of weeks. It's quite the labor opening 675 packs and then listing all the scraps on the AH. But, I'm glad I'm doing this because it has helped the team in several facets. Also a good infusion of cards into the AH to help combat some of the supply issues.

Obtaining 100 Christy Mathewson, 100 Mike Trout, 95 Satchel Paige, and 91 Doug Jones was pretty cool and has given the Frogs a few new starters on the active roster.

The pack-apocalypse also prodded me to reconsider some of the collection missions to see if any would be feasible with fewer gaps to fill. Spent about 8K to finish the Blue Jays and 20K to finish the Yankees missions. Only got a LIVE Verlander from the diamond pack which makes the Blue Jays mission a wash, but 99 Rickey Henderson has been going for 55K, so the Yankees one was profitable. Rickey also seems like a good platoon option vs lefties and he'll commence training next week. Getting really close to having the Phillies (Dykstra will make the active roster) and Negro League missions done.

In order to "break even" on opening 675 packs, the math dictates selling/retaining 675K worth of value. So far, 622K has already been recouped + 250K worth still on the AH + 200K value absorbed into the active roster. So this will most definitely be EV+ and perhaps gives more evidence that pack EV is more generous than a lot of people might think. Of course, this discounts the time and work needed to push the cards through the AH.

With all the proceeds, the Frogs have also added 96 Zack Greinke (Hardware Heroes, Royals version) and 84 SE Mark Belanger (finally got Andrelton Simmons out of there). Also added PEAK Mike Mussina and John Henry Lloyd, but decided to re-auction them due to my fetish for mint cards.

Oh yeah, and the team is 82-51 this week, 15.5 games behind Team To Be Determined, but in very solid position for a wild card. The Frogs will take a 13 game lead over the final team out of the playoff picture into the final day of sims.
