I sent an email to the link provided, but not sure if it went through....I purchased 61 regular packs today (now 66) and did not receive any diamond cards. Is this because today is last day of diamond pack sale? Did the ootp community buy out the shelves? I know its not an exact science, I understand odds...but this seemed a little much and was disappointing. Love the game (obviously) and love the ideas of whats on its way. But, that one stung a bit. Thanks

P(no diamonds or perfects in 66 packs) = (1 - 1/150 - 1/1000)^330 = 7.9%

That's bad luck, but it isn't a bug. It's about how likely Joc Pederson is to hit a home run in any given at bat. I'm quite confident that they did not pull the diamond cards out of packs because the Diamond Pack Sale ended.

Bad attempt at humor... no, I did not think they removed diamonds. But it did cross my mind that something could get "out of whack" by the demand

73 (oof!) I feel like how a drug addict must feel...."I know this is wrong.. but I gotta have my crack!" Thanks for the reply!

103 packs...no perfect...no diamond...thoroughly disgusted w/ myself and ootp!

final...134 regular packs. No diamonds, no perfect. Not bad luck, almost criminal activity. Embarrassed it got to 134 packs.

First pack of the morning produced a diamond! Matt Chapman!

As the dust settles, a message was sent to me from the ootp staff... a bit red faced this morning, I was like a poker player on tilt... no conspiracy to be found. I will quick sell ol' matty c and go back to enjoying this game. OOTP 21 cant come soon enough!
