It feel wrong, but I immediately flipped my gold Hank Aaron from my starter for more packs...

zrog2000 · 11-28-2018, 11:24 AM

I didn't take a screenshot, but I absolutely had a pack that didn't have anyone over 60. Isn't that supposed to be impossible?

No, this can happen with starter packs.

WBTyler939 · 11-28-2018, 11:38 AM

TFW your one gold, two of your three silvers, and half your bronzes are RPs, with your very best pull being an 80 RP. Sigh...

Got the Alex Rodriguez Historical All Star 2005 as my gold card from the starter packs, I'm really excited to see how well he does.

I got Chipper Jones (89) so I expect I could also get quite a bit for him but I can't bring myself to sell it.

Splitter24 · 11-29-2018, 11:05 AM

My Gold Card was... Rafael Bettancourt. 82 overall rating with a HR allowed problem. Sigh.

Yeah I haven't sold Sandberg yet, but I do know a guy in an ootp online league who wants him as he even named his kid Ryne

On my way to bed I checked back in once more and wondered why not buy another pack and turn 2,750 PP into 1,750 PP and another set of (42) relievers…

Oh goody …!

On paper, Swannie looks like one of those soft (71)s, but I am willing to let myself be surprised. But it's okay, it's the 1979 version. From everything I've read, 1979 was pretty much the nadir of the post-Seaver Mets. From here there is nowhere to go but up.

Craig Swan is a beast in this game
Congrats on snagging him 😀

I'm just wary of those low-movement pitchers, since PT uses a 2018 environment, which means longballers will hurt them more than they would in f.e. my dynasty's league, which has subdued power, and even then awesome pitchers will still give up 30 dingers a year. Not that I say Swannie is bad, but 54 movement and the flyball label are good enough to keep my attention.
