Hi. I'm GlimsTC, but you probably know me Glims. I'm desperate for fake virtual currency. I also happen to be desperate for cards of a specific player being ran by the user Jackets28, who you probably know as Starboy. Now, one could conclude that maybe perhaps I only care to get the so called "Chika Fujiwara - QB" card because of my interest in the animated arts. But alas, that is merely an illusion. From the moment "CHIKA BOMB IT" was written upon the Youtube chat by these very fingers, I felt an invested connection to the player. If I was to be anything less than fanatic about Chika, I would be nothing more than a fake fan. A "bandwagoner", if you will. Thus, it is my duty to be Chika's #1 fan no matter what. Which is why we are here. Once again. Spending millions of virtual currency on cards. Cards of Chika. I still don't have any equipment and my last article wasn't nearly enough. So, this time, we move to reach that goal. Without further ado, IT IS TIME TO ONCE AGAIN PULL! As a disclaimer also, once again if any names are misspelled I am NOT CONCERNED! It would take way too much extra time to verify that I didn't mess up a name, so please forgive me if I did.
CARDS PULLED:
Pack 1: Tychondrius Hood (Bronze), Tayshawn Crunk (Bronze), Budda Browning (Gold), Jayson Kearse (Expansion), Bojo Kicksit (Bronze), JD Boom (Bronze)
First pull since my last thread and already we're in for a long one. All Bronze besides the HUGE PULL with the Jayson Kearse expansion card. These expansion cards are absolutely some of my favorites, so glad to be able to pull one of these!
Pack 2: Xavier Newman (Bronze), Mike Karpaasi (Silver), Vine Lockleu (Bronze), Adam Schell (Silver), Susan Cash Jr. (Gold), Monterey Jack (Gold)
Alright, well the only card I went "YOOOOO NICE!" over was Monterey Jack, so that's about that for this one. Some decent pulls all around though at least here.
Pack 3:Bobson Dugnutt (Bronze), Mai Fukushu (Silver), Blake Alexander (Bronze), Tegan Atwell (Gold), Alex Frost (Bronze), Sam Howitzer (Gold)
Okay, same as last time. I went "YOOOOO NICE!" but this time over a former PORTLAND LMAO player, aka Sam Howitzer. Already have Mai so not as exciting this time around, but I suppose it's still nice to see.
Pack 4:Michael Tillman (Silver), Samuel Zhang (Bronze), Cadillac Harris (Silver), Greg Taylor (Bronze), Forfeit (Bronze), Edmond Beaver-Dantes (Silver)
Every time I see a Forfeit card I want to forfeit his right to exist in my collection. I've got like, 5 or 6 of these now, and I'm wondering if the odds on specific players are higher than some. It feels like Forfeit is one of THE MOST COMMON players in all of Dotts, but maybe it's just my imagination as I tend to focus on the fact that I pulled a Forfeit card again when I see him.
Pack 5: Terrell Brister (Bronze), Inspectah Deck (Silver), Break Bottles (Bronze), Wallace Stone (Silver), Giannis Kroustis (Elite), Fuzzy Dotson (Gold)
This pack's not too shabby, honestly. A fun name in Inspectah Deck, a BLAKE BORTLES render in Break Bottles, an Elite with Giannis Kroustis, and then my updater's card in Fuzzy Dotson. Pretty satisfying stuff here!
Pack 6: Lindarius Shelton (Bronze), Harvey Kindle (Bronze), Thomas Carrasco (Bronze), Odell Marrett (Bronze), Dre Matthews (Silver), Red Arrow (Silver)
Not much to say about this one. It's like rolling nothing but weapons in Genshin Impact. I don't want the damn weapons, game. I want the characters! SOMETHING I CAN ACTUALLY USE!
Pack 7: Douglas Quaid (Elite), Raheem Okusi (Bronze), Maverick Bowie (Silver), Gary Lazer-Eyes (Bronze) (real lazer action), James Angler (Gold), Ryan Sierra (Silver)
GARY LAZER-EYES, NOW THAT'S A PULL! First time I've seen a render shooting lazers, so even though it's a Bronze level card, it's a super winner in my book. And I also got James Angler and Douglas Quaid which is NICE! But neither of them shoot lazers, so -1 points at least deducted from them.
Pack 8: Quentin Button (Bronze), Raymond Vans (Elite), Victor Moreno (Bronze), Fast Boija (Bronze), Sheed Thebaw (Bronze), Jayson Kearse (Gold)
The big one for me here is my man Sheed Thebaw, a fellow draftee from my S25 class. Love getting cards of these guys! Feels kind of unreal to see some of us mixed in with all the big guys. Unfortunately, Thebaw retired back on October 14th, but I'm really glad his player will continue to live on through stuff like this.
Pack 9: Mike Hockertz (Silver), Cliff Hamilton (Bronze), Willie B. Hardagain (Silver), Bender B. Rodriguez (Elite), Raylan Crowder (Rookie Card), Running Back (Silver)
YOOOOO, RAYLAN CROWDER, LET'S GO! Couldn't help but get super excited and laugh when I pulled this card. Asked Madden, Crowder's player has been going through similar turmoil as I have to get his rookie card, and here I am just pulling it. I believe he's still hunting for his card too, so really hoping he ends up making it happen soon! Also, Willie B. and Bender B. being back to back was a fun thing. Cool pack!
Pack 10: Juke Thomason (Bronze), Dukburg QuakStak (Bronze), Alex Hansen (Silver), Jamar Lackson (OROY), Sean Snyder (Expansion), Bastion Barnhardt (Bronze)
Another nice pack! Jamar Lackson OROY and Sean Snyder's expansion card! Absolutely love the way these cards are designed, so always glad to pull them! The expansion cards especially though as they're just so insanely creative.
Pack 11: Austin Copperheads Logo Card, Chris Orosz (Silver), Takeda Okura (Silver), Tomage McGullager (Silver), Thudd Kassel (Silver), Zack Skinner (Silver)
Not much to say here after some really good luck. Already have the Copperheads logo, so this was pretty much the filler arc of the packs. Once you move your eyes a bit further below, I imagine you'll understand what I mean.
Pack 12: Achilles Hondo (Gold), CHIKA FUJIWARA (ELITE), Pseudo QB (Bronze), Levon Novel (Bronze), Hank Winchester (Rookie Card), Easton Cole OPEROY
Finally. Finally finally finally FINALLY! IT HAPPENED! I ACTUALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED! AFTER PULLING AND PULLING AND PULLING FOR OVER A MONTH, THE MOMENT HAS FINALLY COME! Seriously, look at this card. It's a damn good card. And you know what? It's MY CARD. It may have cost me almost everything, but god damn did it feel good to open this pack and see that my persistence was rewarded! Not sure if maybe the Dotts team just gave me the god pack, or if this is indeed fate's doing, but I'll be popping off about this victory for quite a while, you best believe! Even got a sig about my GOD PULL, which you might see in my sig rotation from time to time.
Besides CHIKA FUJIWARA though, I also pulled Hank Winchester's rookie card and a Easton Cole OPEROY card, which is just some actually insane luck. Seriously, can someone run the odds of pulling all three of these cards in the same pack? Crud almost doesn't even seem real. I swear though, I didn't cheat! I earned this! I EARNED IT ALL!
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?:
Well, a while ago I would have told you this is where it ends. But Chika has another card as many people were quick to remind me about: The Chika Fujiwara - QB CAPTAIN series card. So, as you already know, the journey is FAR from over! Thankfully, midway through this list, the Dotts team lowered the price of Dotts packs, so I am no longer forced to pay 3.5 million a week to satisfy my very crippling addiction. Maybe finally I can start to build up my savings again. With that being said, let's see what I got in the packs after on the road to CAPTAIN CHIKA!
WE KEEP IT GOING:
Pack 13: Tayshawn Crunk (Bronze), Lucari Felix (Silver), Arik Eller (Bronze), James Lewandowski (Gold), Joseph Joestar (Silver), Roger Batoff (Bronze)
Already a really solid pack! Got another fellow S25 guy with TAYSHAWN CRUNK, got a player with the name Felix, my man James Lewandowski - The GOAT Baltimore Hawks TE, and Joseph Joestar, who I don't remember if I pulled before or not, but still pretty cool to see! But uh, no Captain Chika, so you already know my true feelings here.
Pack 14: Maxwell Beard (Bronze), Apollo Reed (Gold), Michael Tillman (Silver), John-Caleb Bradberton (Bronze), Orange County Otters Logo Card, Will Foster (Bronze)
LET'S GO OCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DUPE CARD BUT STILL COOL! The rest of this pack is just ight though. Could be better!
Pack 15: Andreas Waiters (Bronze), Adriana Falconi (Elite), Jack Banks (Gold), Nicholas Ayers (Silver), Jimi DeSoto (Bronze), Rainier Wolfcastle (Bronze)
And here we are! As of 12:00AM on 11/10/2020, this is my most recent pack since pulling Chika! Crazy that it was that recent ago, huh? As you can see, no Captain Chika to be found yet. Actually, with this I'll have finished two threads and written about 28 pack openings, but I've yet to pull a single Captain card at all. The heck's the rarity on these things? Well, regardless, I pulled another fellow S25 guy in Jimi DeSoto, a cool guy from, Norfolk/Liberty! Was really happy to get his card, so that makes up for this pack!
CONCLUSION:
Well, here we are again! A bunch of packs opened, the original goal met, and a newfound goal to chase! Couldn't be happier with being able to make pulling Chika happen by the second thread and before the season ended so I can actually work towards equipment in proper. That being said, due to pulling Chika so late in the season, I missed out on pulling the Gold version of her card. For that reason, I plead to the Dotts team to get trading enabled so I can truly begin to complete my collection. What kind of fan am I if I don't have the ORIGINAL? But yes yes, moving on, let's look at the pull statistics:
Bronze: 39
Silver: 25
Gold: 12
Elite (Red border): 6 (Including CHIKA FUJIWARA LET'S GOOOOOOOOO)
Award Cards: 2
Expansion Cards: 2
Rookie Cards: 2
Logo Cards: 2
Total: 90 cards
So, these numbers look A LOT more like I was expecting last time. Feels like the rare cards are now actually rare, so that makes getting as many as I feel even greater! Crazy how all of my special cards though, I only got 2 each of. Wack odds as usual!
Anyway, not much more to say than what's been already said! Tune in next time as I attempt to claim yet another type of Chika card. And also no, I'm not obsessed and yes I am mentally OK. Do not worry and do not fret. Thanks for reading!
