The former.

If you were very completionist of getting all the historical cards of one of the five franchises, you already have one nifty card, and the chances are 80% that that's all you'll ever get.

In any other case ... if you have a "1970s switch hitters with speed" team that uses players from 13 different MLB franchises, you didn't get crap, and you won't get crap going forward either.

The top-of-the-mountain reward can be a Robo-Ruth with 200 contact and 300 power for all I care. There's only ever going to be ten or so in the game, because you'll need *every single* iron, bronze, and silver historical card in the entire game to get it, and most of the golds, and a pile of the diamonds. It will cost *thousands* of dollars.

Not worth even faking an effort.
