Yes, that means you need to be able to sell the gold card you get for at least 2,025 points. On average. Good luck with that.

I tend to agree. I am not after Gold cards. I want strong Diamond and Perfect cards which means that I am looking for a volume of cards as I try to get lucky. I’ve been getting my packs through tournaments so it is somewhat of a moot point but I woke up to find I had won five regular packs from the three tournaments I entered before bed. After a recent dry spell, the last card from the last pack was a 95 Johnny Mize 1946 All-Star card. I am not in a rush to dump it, but with the Bagwell card in hand I have it up in the AH to see if I can get a surge of points to address other need areas.
EDIT: The Mize card sold for 53,000 PP. It would seem that I could have gotten a bit more for it but I’ll call that a good haul from a regular pack pull. Now...where to spend those points.
