PP's buy ego points, pure and simple. If you're spending money on PP's instead of groceries, gas, medicine, transportation. your house, or your kids' education, you need professional help.
It's just math. One standard pack in 10 contains a gold card. 55% of those gold cards are historicals. There are 492 historical gold cards at this moment. 30 are mission rewards, and not packable. 462 x 10 is 4620. Divide that by .55 and you get 8400. That's how many packs you need to open to get one 85 Fred McGriff.
There are 13,356 teams right now. Probably 10% of them are inactive. That leaves about 12,020 teams receiving login packs (most) every day. 2800 of them receive an extra pack and 400 of them receive a gold pack (on average) on any given day. 12,020 + 2800 is 14,820. 14,820/8400 + 400*.55/462 means that, on average, 2.24 of the 12,000+ active teams pull a McGriff on any given day.
How many of those teams have completed the Jays mission he has bottlenecked? Not many. How many of the remaining teams want to complete that mission? Probably well over 1,000. If two of those cards are put up for sale every day, on average that Jays mission will be completed by about 250 more teams before PT27 comes out. But most of them will just be used to complete the mission. So the sellers will, eventually get what they want for the Crime Dog.
