99 overall The Negro Leagues Willard Brown is the featured player in Headliners Pack 29. The pack costs 10,000 Stubs and has a five-pack purchase limit, but buying it does not guarantee Brown.
The card gives you a right-handed left fielder with 115 power against righties, 117 against lefties and four secondary positions. If Brown is the card you want, check his Community Market listing before deciding whether to buy packs.
Quick answer: Headliners Pack 29 gives you a chance at 99 Willard Brown for 10,000 Stubs per pack. Brown is also sellable on the Community Market. The displayed 1:8 Diamond odds apply to the 85+ rarity band, not specifically to Brown.
What does Headliners Pack 29 contain?
San Diego Studio's official shop lists one Silver-or-better player item and two other player items in each pack. It names The Negro Leagues Willard Brown as the featured Headliner with an increased chance of appearing.
One pack costs 10,000 Stubs. Buying all five allowed packs costs 50,000 Stubs, calculated as five times 10,000. That is the cost of five chances at the pack's contents. It is not a fixed price for Brown or a guaranteed route to his card.
Headliners 29 is the pack to look for when targeting this release. Chase Pack 29 is a separate pack featuring Awards Mike Trout. The shared number does not make their featured players interchangeable.
What do the listed pack odds mean?
The shop displays these rarity odds:
| Player rarity | Displayed odds | Percentage equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 85+ Diamond | 1:8 | 12.5% |
| 80+ Gold | 1:3 | About 33.3% |
| 75+ Silver | 1:1 | 100% |
These are rarity bands, not a list of individual players' chances. The 85+ band includes cards below Brown's 99 overall rating, so a Diamond result does not establish that you will pull the featured Headliner.
The bands also overlap: an 85+ player meets the 80+ and 75+ thresholds. Do not add the percentages together or treat them as three separate draws. The shop says Brown has an increased chance, but it does not display his individual pull probability.
That leaves two different acquisition choices. Packs buy a chance at the contents. A completed Community Market purchase buys the exact listed card. Compare the current asking price with the amount of Stubs you are prepared to spend before choosing between them.
Which Willard Brown card is this?
Use the 99 OVR Willard Brown card page for this release. The new card shares its name and The Negro Leagues series with an 88 OVR Brown card, so check the overall rating when searching the market or your inventory.
The new Brown bats and throws right-handed. Left field is his primary position, with second base, shortstop, center field and right field listed as secondaries. Those are the card's listed positions; they do not mean every position uses identical defensive ratings.

64,07579,796How does the 99 compare with the 88?
The new card raises both contact ratings by 30 points. Its power increases by 29 against righties and 28 against lefties, while fielding and speed each rise by eight.
| Attribute | 88 OVR Brown | 99 OVR Brown | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact vs. right | 68 | 98 | +30 |
| Contact vs. left | 71 | 101 | +30 |
| Power vs. right | 86 | 115 | +29 |
| Power vs. left | 89 | 117 | +28 |
| Batting clutch | 76 | 106 | +30 |
| Fielding | 80 | 88 | +8 |
| Speed | 80 | 88 | +8 |
Both cards list the same primary and secondary positions. The difference here is the attribute set, rather than additional lineup slots opening up with the 99.
Brown's new card also lists 92 vision, 85 arm strength, 90 arm accuracy and 91 reaction. The higher power ratings sit alongside contact of 98 and 101, so look at both sides of that hitting profile when comparing him with your current outfielders.
These are card-screen comparisons. They do not establish how Brown's swing feels, how he performs online or whether he is better than a card you already use.
Before you spend Stubs
Open Brown's 99 card page and confirm the version, positions and current market listing. If you buy Headliners 29, keep the 10,000-Stub price and five-pack limit separate from the card's market price. A pack purchase cannot promise Brown at any of those spending levels.
