150 on Ortiz GM, Machi isn't selling well & the new TBT is going for around Lester Sig, are they making these year long sets pretty much VIP only?

It's insane. I've been collecting GM all year long and have everything except Cabrera and now Ortiz and they release a freaking 150 count card. So much for it being an intermediate set and Aaron setting the bar. I'm so upset and frustrated... I'll never get that Ortiz. What a slap in the face to normal collectors.

I can totally agree with all of you that it is quite frustrating to try and collect a set when there is a print of only 150 cards.... You just to have to think of it from another way... Do you want it to be like the funny MOA's that they released? Being spammed with offers for your nice inserts for those cards that everyone has! It wouldn't be too fun of a game if the game just gave you every card. They make it so that you actually have to know what to trade people in order to make advancement's in the game... Sorry for my long speech but just one more item I want to include! Think of bunt where you start out with a paper clip and every day you have to try and trade that paper clip for something bigger such as a pencil or this case a "gold paper clip" once you have something better your always to to better that!
Hope this explains my idea on the whole Ortiz GM thing.... I know I wont chase it at all!

The 1 out of 150 packs for the Ortiz is an insult. They are basically saying that you need to drop 750,000 coins ($135 if you want a SHOT at the card. .
I personally, used my remaining 100,000 coins to try and get one (I only got an older Fan's Choice card for my troubles) and I decided to go from Black VIP to F2P next season based on practices like this. It's about $15,000 in lost revenues for them every season because they tried to put the squeeze on me for an extra $100. I find it to be very shortsighted on their part - trying to squeeze out every penny before the season ends but leaving a sour taste in the mouth of people for next season - basically taking a few hundred dollars now and giving up a few thousand in future dollars in the future
Remember, you don't NEED to have the GM Bonus card. You're like will not be significantly better by having this card on your phone, especially when it has NO game value since the 2014 cards won't be playable in 2015 - it will just be another low print run older card that you use as a throw in to try and get the next "hot" card next season that no-one will want a week later. Just let go of the idea of getting the Ortiz, save your money and go on with your life.
I hope someone from BUNT reads this so they can see what happens when you try to squeeze pennies out now at the expense of dollars in the future.

I had to give up on the tbt set they said it was for beginners in that collectors digest of whatever. Seems like they only want vips to be able to complete the sets
