    Yup, I said it before. Probability and math don't lie.
    If you're looking for a chase card, you'll be saving money by buying singles than trying to get lucky. The more you open the less likely you'll turn a profit and anyone who gambles in Vegas knows with enough samples you'll see that the odds of pulling chase cards are pretty close to stated odds.
    I remember when you pulled the Dylan numbered auto with Bowman. Since then it's been normalizing and I also had the same experience. First box I opened had Dylan Chrome auto but since then all downhill.
