Thought you guys might find my pack opening extravaganza interesting in terms of the data (not in terms of amazing drops!)

I had an amazing 205 packs between my 2 teams. Annandale opened 90 packs last night and 5 more this morning when I woke up (including 5 gold packs from collections that I had saved) and got…

9 live Diamonds
18 live Golds (4 of the 5 Gold packs had 80 Live Gallegos…)
2 Future Legends (1 silver, 1 gold)
3 Build-a-legends (Wainwright, Peavy, Mussina)
2 Historical Diamonds (93 Garver, 92 Tim Wakefield - both marginally useful pitchers)
8 Historical Golds (1 dupe, 3 of them 85 or above - Blauser, Headley, Sauer)
3 Historical Silvers (Harry Bay, who is used in tourneys, plus a SP and a RP)

If you consider the Live Diamonds worth 4k each and the live Golds as 1k, that’s 54k out of 90 packs… throw in 7K for both FLs, 12k for the all the BALs, 8k for each HD, 1.5k for each HG… total is 101k PP for 95 packs that to purchase would have been 90k + 15k for the golds… 105k. So I would have broken even if I’d purchased the packs (and I would have purchased 15 regular packs instead of 5 gold packs, but we will call that a wash).

Washington, my BFF team, opened 105 packs last night and 15 more this morning for…

1 Live Perfect (Betts)
3 Live Diamonds
5 Live Golds
1 Gold Future Legend
2 Build-A-Legends (Beltre, Sandberg)
1 Negro League silver (Jelly Gardner)
1 Historical Diamond (96 Cruz)
3 Historical Gold (80-82 so not very useful)
2 Historical Silver (Roseboro, who could be used in a tourney, and a 70 SP)

Cashing that in…
22k for Betts + 12k Diamonds + 5k Golds, 5k FL, 8k for the BALs, 20k for Jelly, 45k for Cruz, 3.5k for the HGs, 1k for the Silvers… total is 121k for 120 packs. So again, it’s a break even proposition. To be sure, most of the return is from 3 cards so if I hadn’t gotten those it would have been a terrible haul.

I actually had a few more packs than listed because I completed some collections from the initial opening, plus I locked all the BALs and got the Silver versions. So maybe 5 more packs for each team.

And this morning I bought the Pete Rose BAL for Annandale - I'm sure I paid more than he'll go for in a week or so but I really wanted him for my tournament teams, so I decided to go for it.
