My concern, however, is that they are being dragged along toward the higher levels. Because I'm pretty much eschewing Special Edition players, they can't compete with the teams that are completing those collections. The only one I have, and probably will have have, is Carl Hubbell. The others don't interest me because the ones I liked when I watched baseball have been on one of my teams in past PT iterations and I just like the spice of having new faces. Hell, I even pulled a 100 Cy Young early in PT 20. Before that finally ended he had a perfecto, at least three other no-hitters, and about a dozen one-hitters. So even been there, done that, for old Denton True.
Since I don't care that much how my team does outside of OL, it's not really a problem.
However, until the teams find their natural level of competition, those OL teams which have more of a dual focus will be tough to beat. Of course, if the Mundys can prevail against them on that basis, it will make the crown seem a bit shinier.
I wonder if I'm making a mistake sitting on my PP for the most part. I haven't let the balance fall below 120K for a couple of weeks and, by the time my cards currently up for sale go, it'll be at about 160,000. I just don't want to spend them because I'm afraid if I do, Willie Mays will show up and I won't be able to get him.
Ah well, enough of my Richie Rich whining.
