Quick question - rarity of cards

mcdog512 · 12-15-2018, 07:04 PM

I just saw Three Finger Brown which I thought was super cool. Not seeing any in the AH it made me wonder if certain cards are much more rare to spawn in the game. Markus? Just curious, love the game.

Curious as well. My Frank Baker card still has no numbers when you try to sell it in the auction. Is it a bug, or has no one attempted to sell the card. I should be able to make a number up then since it seems so rare? like 150k

I think the best of the all-time players, Brown and Baker included, probably aren't any more rare than others, but find a long-term home and just don't show up for sale very often. When you get ahold of a high-rated Hall of Famer, you don't let him go.

1 out of 5 cards is a historical card. Apart from that, same odds as 2018 Live cards apply on top of that. So, to pull a Perfect Historical (there are 28 of them) the odds are 1:4000 (per card).
