Are people still getting Bagman covers?

My signature has my roster that I update occasionally. I haven't updated it in 3 weeks and I noticed that I haven't gotten a single Bagman cover in that entire time. For comparison, I've received 25 2* Bullseye covers and 20 2* Torch covers. Yeah, some of those were probably progression rewards, but come on, that's a huge difference. I get to 1300 in every PvP and play plenty of lightning rounds, so I should be getting at least a few of them a week.

So are others still getting covers and I'm just some bizarre statistical anomaly?

    I think bagman can only drop via a pvp match.

    i.e. you should never pull bagman out of a heroic, event, or standard token

    I got 5 Bagmans in the last 3 events (sold all 5)!

    Yes, I know. I play tons of PvP and get lots of 2* rewards and none of them have been Bagman. I used to get at least a couple a week, but it's been almost a month since my last one. Very odd.

    I get them now and then. I'm working on a champion Bag-man, so I am grateful for each one.

    Me too, and mine is stuck at 108. Not really a big deal, I was just curious.

    I've gotten 5 in the last three weeks. Seems like they drop slightly less than other 2* covers in LR and PVP events.

    Yeah the Bag Man seems to be making fewer and fewer appearances. Maybe, because of this forum post, they'll increase his odds of popping up again.....for once I'd really like to see more of him! I want that max champion bag head!!!!

    Yeah, that's what I was figuring too. Either I'll never see another Bagman cover again, or I'll get 10 of them tomorrow during the Lightning rounds.

    I get an average of 2 per PvP event.

    I received a half dozen in the last two weeks, with one in a Lightning Round today.

    I finally rostered a bagman last week and decided I'd go ahead and start using his covers and level him.

    Haven't seen another cover in seven days.

    Apparently my plan worked because I got a Bagman cover last night.

    I did the same thing, I've gotten 3 in about a week. Pretty sure they all came from Shield Sim.

    I haven't gotten one in a while, but I'm not too worried about it. I have him at lv 95 now.. he'll get more eventually.

    I thought I read somewhere that someone mentioned that the drop list is (at least partially) based on the roster of the person you are fighting? If that person has a bag-man in their roster, it'll show up as a potential drop? Not sure if that's the case, but I've never sat and stared at all the covers as they rotate by in the reward section when looking at a potential opponent. I'll do that next time, look at their roster and then see if he scrolls across as a potential reward.

    I've only received my 2nd one this week in over a month or two.

    I got a Bagman late last night before I went to bed. I think it was a lightning round but it could have been Stay on Target.

    I suspect this is inaccurate since you can get 2* drops from seed teams.

    I'm getting them. but man its slow. mine is up to 3/2/2 but only added 2 the last 4 weeks. all 2* drops have been super slow for me, now that I'm chasing them all to finish the bottom and cycle the max-champs I have.

    I haven't seen a Bagman cover in months...

    I had only 1 Bagman drop since the "Champion" feature was added (and unfortunately, it wasn't the final yellow Bagman I needed in order to champion him).

    I've only gotten one, each of the last two weeks. Finally have him fully covered, so I can start championing him soon.
