What is going on?

Since Friday, the AH house ground to a stand still. It also seems like there have been less peak cards being pulled. Anyone have any theories?

It's not like they're gonna pull a diamond or perfect of that set.

what's going on is that card drop rates are terrible and there are now far less packs being opened because the initial flurry of spending has gone.

I think it's a mix of this and people waiting for collections.

I've havent been ripping packs like I used to, instead saving what PP i earn. When I do get a gold or above historical im keeping it unless i have a dup.

Most people buy their points at the start of the game to open packs with, now it's just the regular influx of PP. Plus once people have a playable team set up they can hoard collection pieces instead of selling off every spare card to raise points.

There's always a chance!

I got 12 packs from the daily silver yesterday, and am definitely waiting til tomorrow to rip them.

Word on the street is a Negro League set, but bigger than last year's.

Not that I care. I only ever drew one Negro Leaguer and that was ... Dandridge? Nothing of value.

I didn't hear that.... is that right? I heard it will be bigger than thew Negro launch last year but I didn't hear it was a Negro themed launch... I'm hearing something more around HOF'ers or something along those lines

Isn't today Jackie Robinson Day? The other one came out for this last year.

Also, there *are* Negro League Hall of Famers.

I guess we'll know in 29 hrs.

Personally, I am holding a lot of cards and opening less packs.
Why?

*Live values have dropped changing the EV.
*The drop rate has changed...I know it probably hasn't but it sure feels like it. Bad (or just evening out) pack luck.
*Looking to take advantage of collections. Example: Luke Appling mission was already completed when released.
*Solid tourney teams at every level to maximize packs.
