If you've been eyeing some of those elusive, high-priced cards from early content drops or scrambling to finish your collections, San Diego Studio just threw us a massive lifeline. Released alongside the massive 99 OVR Awards Series Victor Martinez Collection, the new Pack Palooza Program is essentially a giant catch-up mechanic designed to flood the Diamond Dynasty market with rare packs.

It’s an easy, highly rewarding grind that lets you pull some great cards for free, which is already tanking the crazy market prices on older rare items. Here is a complete breakdown of what you can get, how to finish the program fast, and the smart way to handle your rewards.

The 7 Pack Palooza Rewards

By working your way through the program reward path, you will secure seven core themed packs. These contain highly sought-after cards from past drops, including:

1. Legends Choice Pack

2. World Baseball Classic (WBC) Choice Pack

3. St. Patrick's Day Choice Pack (Yes, this gives you another shot at the rare St. Patty's Mike Trout)

4. Chocolate Bunny Choice Pack (Egg Hunt Series)

5. Chocolate Eggs Choice Pack (Egg Hunt Series)

6. April Spotlight Any Pack

7. Pack Palooza Choice Pack: This is the final crown jewel of the program. It is an unsellable choice pack that lets you directly hand-pick one Rare-tier player card from past programs (just note that St. Patrick's Day cards are excluded from this specific final pack).

How to Progress and Complete the Program

To clear the entire program, you need to hit 70 total points. The developers gave us two distinct ways to tackle this: a traditional stat grind or a handful of high-value solo challenges.

The Gameplay Grind (10 Points Each)

If you just want to play the game naturally in Ranked, Battle Royale, Conquest, or Mini Seasons, you can complete these seven non-repeatable background missions:

• Wins: Get 5 wins.

• Hits: Collect 50 total hits.

• Home Runs: Blast 20 home runs.

• Total Bases: Rack up 100 total bases.

• Parallel XP: Earn 7,500 PXP using any players.

• Innings Pitched: Throw 12 innings with any pitchers.

• Strikeouts: Sit down 21 batters on strikes.

The Fast Track: "Extreme" Moments (25 Points Each)

If you don't want to grind out 50 hits and 100 total bases, you can skip the stat missions entirely. The program features three optional "Extreme" Moments.

Don't let the "Extreme" label scare you off—unlike typical Extreme programs that force you onto Hall of Fame or Legend difficulty, these challenges are set to a much more manageable All-Star difficulty. Because each one is worth 25 points, knocking out all three gives you 75 points right out of the gate, instantly completing the entire program in a fraction of the time.

Strategy and Market Impact

Before you start ripping your packs, keep a couple of strategic tips in mind to get the most value out of this drop:

• Hold Off on the Community Market: If you've been saving up Stubs to buy older rare cards (like the Egg Hunt or St. Patrick's Day series), stop buying right now. Because thousands of players are earning these packs for free, the supply is skyrocketing and market prices for these older cards are dropping significantly. Wait a few days for the prices to bottom out before buying any missing pieces.

• Prep for Victor Martinez: Resist the urge to immediately quick-sell or liquidize your pulls. The ultimate goal for a lot of players right now is unlocking that 99 OVR Victor Martinez. You will need a variety of different card series types and the specific vouchers tied to these rewards to complete his collection, so hold onto what you pull to save yourself a massive headache later.
