Such a great start!

Westheim · 03-20-2020, 10:07 AM

Set up two teams and ripped all eight of their packs, respectively.

Raccoons - no Mets cards.
Mets - ....... no Mets cards.

Uphill battle!

BigRed75 · 03-20-2020, 10:18 AM

Got Cole Tucker in a starter pack (of course!)

Gotta say, his 2020 picture is...not much better than last years

Janks · 03-20-2020, 10:23 AM

It could be worse. You could have gotten Chase Utley, as I did.

professor ape · 03-20-2020, 10:26 AM

I really like the faster animation when opening packs.

Dogberry99 · 03-20-2020, 10:32 AM

The Wichita Falls Spudders were blessed with Live Pete Alonso from 1 of its 2 gold packs to play 1B. He pairs nicely with my other silvers and golds, which include the following:

1B Tino Martinez - 79 OVR
C Omar Narvaez - 81
C Bill Schroeder - 80
C Johnny Bench - 78
C Johnny Schulte - 77

This is going to be an interesting team to build...

Warhawk · 03-20-2020, 10:34 AM

Awesome, one of my starter packs had SIX iron cards!

Also one of my F2P teams has more gold starters than my other F2P team has bronze starters.

BigRed75 · 03-20-2020, 10:47 AM

Pulled a 100 Juan Soto in one of my bonus packs. They really are sharp looking cards, those 100s.

Most people like having no Mets cards

......

ROY_Angel_Berroa · 03-20-2020, 12:38 PM

I got two Jorge Lopez cards in the same pack, so I got that going for me... which is nice?

trman73 · 03-20-2020, 12:47 PM

Three teams, eight packs each (w/the two gold packs per team).

Zero perfects, zero diamonds, but one pack that had three golds...

80 Live Chris Archer (ugh)
83 Live Jeff McNeil
80 1912 C Jimmy Archer

Team 1 - Fort Worth Frogs
3 Golds, 3 Silvers

Team 2 - Minglewood Warlocks
3 Golds, 4 Silvers

Team 3 - West Ham United Hammers
5 Golds (this team had the 3-gold pack mentioned above), 4 Silvers

Much work to do with all these teams.

I got a pair of Carlos Carrascos.

Perceptor · 03-20-2020, 01:32 PM

Of course I go from Mike Soroka on beta to Sonny Gray on the real version. Oh well - such as life

macacks · 03-20-2020, 02:06 PM

I can't imagine a worse starting setup. haha

Westheim · 03-20-2020, 02:19 PM

Newborn teams look so horrendous in this game.

For the Mets team that is...

Mets players - 0
Honorary Mets players - 0
Players that wandered through the Mets at some point - 0

Chico Guilbault · 03-20-2020, 02:25 PM

I was going to sit this one out and focus on my fictional league...now I can't wait to get home and open some packs!

BigRed75 · 03-20-2020, 10:20 PM

My son's pack luck continues into PT21 - he pulled a double gold in one of his gold packs.

Westheim · 03-21-2020, 02:47 AM

The quest to get the share of Mets and honorary Mets cards to where I want it - at least 21 - has begun. Have gobbled up Kevin Elster, Pee Wee Reese, and Harry Taylor so far.

Yes, that's small fish, but you should see my PP balance.

Germaniac · 03-21-2020, 05:45 AM

My best card in a total of 21 packs for 3 teams ... and he has to go because this is my Frankenthal Brewers team

But at least I got one of those famous Don August-cards

So, as they say: "The only way is up"

BigRed75 · 03-21-2020, 07:05 AM

Bader sounds like a German last name...can't you make an exception, at least until you get a replacement?
