So topps just brought back the 7th inning stretch pack that has all inserts but now it's 30k per pack. As a free to play I'm not even going to touch this pack no guarentee of an insert so I don't see the reason to buy
if you got one let me know what's inside!

With soccer and football starting up I'm sure the cash flow has slowed down for Bunt. They're probably trying to squeeze the last few drops of blood from the golden goose.

7th inning stretch used to cost 10K or 7.5K, right?

7th inning stretch used to cost 10K or 7.5K, right? Yeah I'm pretty sure. It's pretty much an everyday version of the Super Bonus Pack. The SB pack usually spits out golds/silvers and rarely inserts IMO

The 7th Inning Pack was the pack (other than the original packs) that was introduced to include the Sigs and other inserts. It used to cost 10k in the store.

This is basically the Green Bonus pack they had been rolling out once a month, except that pack cost 4,500 coins. With the points chase nearing the end (and my ever declining desire to participate in it) the Silver/Golds just don't have the value they once did. At this point, I'm just going to save up my VIP coins and hope there's somethign interesting in the post-/off-season.

30,000 coins for 7 cards. That is, even at the most favorable rate, approx $5 a pack for 7 cards. I opened nearly 20 packs and got 4 cards, out of 140, that have any chance of having a rarity under 1,000. One Felix GM, one Altuve duo, and two POTW cards. The other inserts, which numbered well under one per pack, were League Leaders and Key Cards.
This, after a weekend of the app not working. On top of the fact that when people tried to buy one pack and it didn't work, if they tried again, they were beholden to two packs, or how many ever times they tried. Though nothing in the UI would tell them the previous try was successful, and nothing was created to at all let them know what they got out of the packs.
Whomever is in charge over their literally doesn't care anymore. They just want to see how much they can squeeze out before the end of the year, and I am done helping them accomplish it.
I am going to see if Apple will refund, as many people have done that. Then I am going to get rid of all my cards.
I was a staunch supporter. Mainly, because some of the workers have been overly kind and available. This is it though. This is a clear money grab with no desire to provide any value.

Whatcha going to do with the commons and stuff not really worth money? I'm interested but have no way of giving you money for cards! I mean I would but I cant! This might be the last straw for a lot of people!

You're statement, if seen by TOPPS, should be like California falling into the ocean! TOPPS is finding the breaking point of too many, in various ways. I caved when The Hamels sig came out at 750 count with something like 1:200 odds. I started diluting my self of all sigs, (of which I had all), and inserts, that very day. Now going forward, I'll just play for points. Thx for the thoughts.

They have systematically alienated their key users, both F2P and paying customers, over the course of the last 6-7 weeks. It is really sad to see; I greatly enjoyed this app for several months. With you, SEETHESKEIK, and several other diamond VIPs jumping ship, it is difficult to see how they will be able to right the ship and avoid capsizing. Sad.

Me and many of the community admired your impressive collection. I think that this app still has plenty of potential but if they continue to release these abomination of packs and sets that have literally no trade value after reward i would have to say many people will be following suit just like you. Its sad to see THE biggest collection leave the app but i think that this is probably the best thing you can do at this point. It seems as though that those in charge no longer care about the community and care more about milking ever living cent out its user which is fine because this is still a business but if you want to continue users to really want to spend money you have to reward them with free stuff now and then even 10k coin here and there will keep many people happy

I will certainly get criticized for disagreeing with a Hall of Famer again, but who forced you to spend nearly 600,000 coins on these packs? I opened one, saw that the insert rate was low, and went and had a sandwich. Why were you so out of control, especially after the first few packs had poor results?
