I have spammed tournaments, and have just been keeping all the cards I get, so when they launch FOTF teams, I usually have a few cards to get me started. I am a big Red Sox fan, so I wanted to maybe chase the Ortiz FOTH card as it would be more meaningful to me (and from following a lot of threads, I am a F2P team, so I can probably live in the bottom half of Diamond for most of the game, or make a switch to build a team I like to watch for fun and entertainment. I guess here is my question. I have 66% Iron, 66% Low and 75% High Bronze, 0% Low and 7% High Silver, 0% of low and high Gold and 33% of Pre and Post Diamond done. I have 215,000 PP to spend, but I could also buy Ortiz right now for 100,000PP, but there are a few auctions with no buy now that are much cheaper at this time.

I guess what I am asking is, I think the cost at this time is way too much to be trying to finish the FOTF for a team, but I could buy a player if I wanted him. Am I undervaluing the packs that I would get from completing each mission? If I could finish a diamond level for 60,000PP and get 2 diamond packs, is that actually worth it in the end? Should I just be waiting for a few weeks, and when the next set launches the prices will continue to come down? I guess I look at Chuck Finley for an 7D average of 34,000PP and know there is no way you could complete that mission for less than that.

In terms of value it would be better to just buy the Ortiz from the AH. Just be patient. Last night you could have bought him for under 50k. The value of the FOTF cards has really plummeted in the second batch, it is typically much much much cheaper just to buy them in the AH unless you just happened to have most of the missions already complete. The AH is still out of control despite the FOTF really not having any sort of great value
