Anyone else noticing a significant amount of Insert Fatigue among the BUNTERs? Card counts are extremely low for the recent insert releases (Fired Up and Cannon series). I think this is a function of several issues: - Too many pre-existing sets that haven't been taken off the shelves. It kills me when I pull an insert when the award is already expired (FINs, Sabers, etc)
- Coin economy is entering Greece EU levels of depression. There was a temporary boost when the merge happened due to the coins on the dormant accounts but I think those coins are mostly spent.
- Boredom with the game play. Some of the big spenders are not spending because the batters are pretty much useless for points. Fewer inserts are being pulled if fewer packs are being purchased.
- The odds are entirely stacked against us. Topps is using last year's ratios for inserts, but the BUNT marketplace is way more limited coin wise this year. Folks with 100 accounts aren't getting their daily bonuses and farming accounts for insert pulls. I feel like I'm trying to get the Golden Ticket in a Willy Wonka chocolate bar whenever I buy one of topps rip off packs.
- Rewards for completing a set are actually insulting. 5000 coins for a set that cost 1 million to pull? Unbelievable.
- The rent is too damn high. Coin bundles need to come down to stimulate purchasing. 250K bundles for 20.99 is probably what needs to happen to get the cards flowing again.
The scary thing is that the scarcity of the inserts will now be spread out by Android users in the near future. It will be harder than ever to get sets and collections. We are going to have to pick and choose what we collect gents and ladies...

100% right which is why I also no longer collect inserts, they need to go back to 3000 coin Quarter, 1200 coin Niner, 500 coin Trifecta, and 200 coin Loosie; then they can have their special advanced odds packs for more and inserts only at a steep price, as long as inserts and Golds exist in all packs

Chasing everything will break the bank. Only thing I chase are Golds for scoring, and sigs. Your commentary is well said.

I'm really considering trading all of my cards from these year in hopes of gaining a bunch of last years sets like the Gallery since they aren't that valuable anymore to a lot of people

I have a goldy gal. dup if interested and a bunch of asg dups. I'll probably wait a bit before going after the Gallery since it's a larger set, already got all 21 All-Stars from packs...oh the good ole days when I was a Top 10 Player |

I totally agree with every one. It seems everyday they do a sale on packs or have a new limited time insert. I spent about $40 money for coins and got zilch for it. Just some commons and red or green cards. I cant wait for the android version so I can recruit my wife and kids. I liked it last year and I like they have the daily coins at 2000 but when you cant really get anything then its just a waste. I am about to just stock my coins up and use them for special sales, like today when they did the special sale.

I think as time goes on you will see more sales and the odds will get better due to the fact were all coin poor |
