I like the logic of spending 100k on a card pack and potentially selling those cards for a lot more. This is a risky way to make money, but so are user bets. We'll need to monitor purchases to make sure that cards aren't being used as a way to launder money to teammates and friends.

I do wish you'd brought up some of the concerns over certain players being shafted or unfairly honored. A mini-pack for S3 rookie cards is a cool idea, but I really feel that there are too many iconic players not represented.

Yeah, we don't want to see money laundering, I actually hadn't thought of that.

As far as concerns over players being shafted, they did somewhat explain it with their wanting to include S1 and S2 players, and split offence and defense relatively equally. So we were right in our assumption that there were 'quotas'. But, yes, I'd agree, I should have asked a little more difficult questions. It's something I'm working on as I get more experience.

Thanks for having us on man!

The mini-pack is going to be much less work just in terms of hours put in, leaving our graphics guys more time to work on an update series where we include more players. I mentioned in the podcast that many many great players got left out of this pack, simply because it's technically a "trial run" for the system. This was just so that we could roll out the pack and test the system in a timely manner.

You could do an awards pack fairly easily, where the inserts are the player who won an award, with relatively the same common cards. It'd be cool to get a mvp card or ultimus outlaws, or even a DROY Oles(personally would be my favorite)

A mini-pack for S3 rookie cards is a cool idea

You could do cards for the S3 rookies who were drafted 1-9. Or those who were drafted 9-18. Or just whoever was drafted pick 9 :rofl:
