IFBB Pro Cards

Are too many Pro Cards being given out these days? What are your guys thoughts. It used to be only the overall winner of national shows getting a pro card. Now some shows have winners of every class get a pro card, and at Nationals this year top two in every class get a pro card! Is this making it less prestigious to be an "IFBB PRO"? Should pro cards really be given out to people who obviously have no shot at doing a pro show for years to come, if ever? Is more pro cards a good thing (more pro cards, more compeitiors, more money for shows and winners, more money for the industry as a whole)? It gives guys like me a little extra push in the gym, know that a pro card is much "attainable" (still extreamly hard to achive, but much "eaiser" for lack of words than it used to be). What is everyones thoughts on this??

Passing them out like candy. Top 2 overall should be it, and that's being generous.

I think having 1 show a year where all class winners turn pro is enough(Nationals). The rest should be overall winners only. Too many pros makes it not so much of an accomplishment. On the other hand, it brings the IFBB a shit load of money lol.
