I spent 3 tokens in total.

Maybe I did pay too much, but I don't know if it is because of special abilities. I have found most of them to have no effect on performance, so I don't bother to look for them anymore.

Also, I specifically wanted to buy 18 yr old NGs to see if it was worthwhile to buy and train them, it's part of learning the game for me. And I have tried to get these players unsuccessfully before.
