Of those packs of opened I only recall two cards that were decent. Pretty sure both of them were mid 80s relief pitchers. But decent. One of them was an OVR 86 Todd Jones who I’m using on the Barnstormers. The other one was 84 Kerry Wood for Annandale.
I do recall that one of those packs I had three golds in it but the other two were not terribly useful. And when I added up the auction house price of the three cards it came to slightly over 5500 so if you’re buying a pack for 10K PP you’re still taking a loss on the pack.I also recall two other packs that had either an 80 or 81 in them, who I ended up selling off for just over 1000. That was before the FOTF missions of course!
The Barnstormers got two middling low 80s out of two of the historical packs…84 Terry Moore and 80 Dode Paskert. Both could be used up to Diamond but not beyond I think.I did not sell them then but they might be worth something now.
So after all this rambling the take away should be… Even though the results may be interesting, you’re probably not going to get your moneys worth out of buying a historical pack.
I do not recall getting anything higher than an 86 out of those packs.

I got lucky on the Saints after completing the TOTD 1800's Pitchers mission, and got 100 Tim Keefe in one of the historical packs. Funny though, I bought a 100 Keefe to finish the set because none of the other pitchers were there...so now I have a dupe that I can't flog to save my life as I keep getting undercut.
That said, I do agree with your sentiment. The majority of the time you're gonna get a low-gold. Might be worth a little something now during FOTF, especially if you get one from the bigger teams yet to be released...but still, unless you're getting 5-figures for said gold, it's still not quite getting your money's worth.
