I forgot to take a ss when I freshly bought this player (was not planning to do this experiment but sell him right away) but I remember his
quality was 97, 3*. I'd say around 50 packs to improve 1 star quality. Although it may not be worth, I believe I could use him for at least 2 season so it will spread the cost out throughout the seasons.

So far, from his performance, a good investivent ;D
