Is anyone else annoyed by this? I get that it makes it easier for some to collect if the card stays in packs a week longer than it should, but it ruins the cards value. When I make offers for the weekly ECs, I base them off what I think the pull count will be when it's sold out after 1 week. So far, 3 ECs have stayed in packs for an extra week. Gray(1100 to 1984), Martinez(550 to 908), and now Stroman(550 to 700 and counting). The numbers in parenthesis are what the cards approximately should have sold out at and what it did approximately sell out at. This makes what I paid for them end up being an overpay.
Two more examples, last weeks POTW cards(Cutch and Brantley). Cutch went sold out(1388) yesterday when the new POTW were announced. Brantley, however, is still in packs at (1560) and counting. I love the Indians, but I'm not looking to pull an old Brantley POTW card when the new ones are out.
Same with Swisher Turkey Red. Came out the same day as Junior Lake Turkey Red. They were supposed to be in packs for 1 week. Lake was taken out of packs at the right time and sold out at (137). Swisher was supposed to be taken out of packs at a count of (158). I was hounding that card for a week to see what it would sell out at since I needed it for my Indians collection. Instead, it was in packs 1-2 full days too long and ended up being a poor pull out of the Black Pack for 13k and sold out at (1078).
Mesoraco SNB was in packs too long as well. I ended up with 5 of them at one time. Ended up at (2529).
