The anniversary season has come to an end.  The speed hoard contest is over, the stream is done, the giveaways have all been given away.  Topps gave us at least something for the anniversary this year.  Nothing earth-shattering, or even Wintercon level, but at least they acknowledged the anniversary in the app.  We're still glad we were able to do something for the community.  Thank you again to all of the traders who donated some incredible cards for the giveaways!

So now what?  Business as usual for the app, but as for Jim, a few revelations have occurred.  One is: focusing on the decent mid-week sets leaves you with some decently lower-CC Super Rares, as opposed to always dumping coins and diamonds into weekend collections.  Weekend collection Super Rares are double, sometimes triple the CC as the mid-week ones, and if you don't finish the sets, it's better to have the mid-week Super Rares for trading later on.

But a large focus on this episode is just how bad does your luck have to be before you give up trying hit the odds?  Jim and Dan talk about Jim's recent horrible luck streak from the past 3 months, not just in Marvel but in Star Wars as well, and how he's now done spending money in the app and getting nothing.  It took a lot of failure to finally realize that he's just better off trading for or buying from the secondary market to get the cards that he wants.  But, it also takes the fun out of opening packs and hoping to hit that sweet epic when tapping through the cards.

We hope that all of your don't have as bad of luck, and that you continue to enjoy the app and the community, but sometimes, the odds are just stacked against you.

We also do a short recap of the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but we realize we're way late and it's kind of in the past now, so we keep it quick!
