It desperately needed a jolt. Making it so all cards have value makes sense to me. Everyone has the option to keep playing or stop.

(1) Exactly which % of the top 1% of the top 1% are they looking to benefit here? Could be wrong, but I don't think we'll see more than a handful of players complete all FotF missions through the divisions and both leagues. At that point, why not just ship the cards to their favorite whales as a "thank you" and not upend the AH for so many. Which brings me to point 2...
(2) Can't think of other ways to pop the AH a bit? Release diamond packs. Release Negro League packs. (Because FFS, after opening over 1000 packs across all teams, I have scored a grand total of 3 Negro League cards. I get that the mission is hard, but it shouldn't require godlike luck or a massive wallet to complete.) Allow packs to be combined to grant the next pack up. Got four SPs? Make a silver pack. Ten silvers? A gold pack. Four golds? A diamond pack. There is a metric ton of other options aside from pricing a decent proportion of the user base out of rounding out tourney teams.
Actually, back to (1) for a minute. Exactly how much "grind-y work" do you imagine some poor FTP has to put in before you would allow him to aspire to be
near the top of the heap, much less on top of it?
