WS Rewards

I will say, though, that if everyone knew you could trade your 91 WS reward for a 99 a few months later, they wouldn’t be selling it for 30k, Dingers. In fact, it would ensure that WS rewards from the early season maintained their value, which sort of at the heart of my argument here.
I mean that same Juan Pierre is currently 800k on the market.
They do maintain their value over the long-haul.

Oh. Then what is he talking about?
But I wonder, how cheap is the cheapest WS reward in the market right now?

The 91 Hornsby is 1M, the Britton is 900k. I think Juan Pierre at 800k is the cheapest
Even Tino Martinez is 1m
-
I doubt anyone is buying them, though. Why would anyone buy 91 Hornsby for 1M?

The 1m is buy orders, not sell orders. You have to wait in line to pay 1m for him

That’s how people stash stubs, isn’t it? Put in buy orders for cards that aren’t moving?

No, not on a card like that where there are only 11 buy orders at 1m. Chances are super high of getting that card. If people wanted to stash stubs they'd pick Chipper or something.
And even then, that's irrelevant to the actual conversation. There are orders there and you can click a button and sell him instantly for 1m, he sells for 1m

@maurice91932 said in WS Rewards:
Alright, fine. I guess I’m on my own with this one.
I still feel like it is unjust that making WS early in the cycle isn’t as rewarding as making it later.
And for the record, I thought the WS rewards were whack when they came out back then. I spoke against Britton and Pierre; I thought then and still believe that they were slaps in the face to the community.
But I guess I’m the only one. It’s okay. I’m used to having unpopular opinions. Haha.
Good luck, everyone!
What's wrong about Britton? He's a really good card.

Obviously, which makes it completely unfair and stupid.

And pierre was selling for dirt before the trout collection shot up his value. That's what I was referencing about for the 30k pierre, because people could have stacked him then, and just waited until later to exchange for a 1 mil coin card.

I’d like to know when was the last time those cards actually sold. I thought you used to be able to see that online but I can’t find it anymore.
But what they did to inflate the value of those cards, of course, is to make them needed for Trout, then not release very many more Veteran or Prime Series cards. So they made the series rare.
So with this market manipulation and others, like the 1M cap, it is hard to measure what a particular card is actually worth. Chipper would very well sell for far more than 1M if they allowed it. As would Sale or Mays. So the fact that Pierre has orders for 750k, which is only 250k less than Mays, is only because they capped Mays.
Without the cap, would Pierre be within 250k of Mays? We may never know....
Anyway, I’m gonna get a shirt made that says:
“I made WS once and all I got was Juan Pierre, a Nameplate, and this stupid T-Shirt.”
Haha. But alright you guys. Fun discussion. I’m over it now.

We may never know because of the cap, but again that's not relevant to the conversation because there is a cap and the early WS rewards do sell for that much. Doesn't matter how it's achieved.

I don’t know you keep saying something is irrelevant. Just because something IS, and is verifiable, such as what a card can sell for (but won’t), doesn’t mean that discussing the way things could be is irrelevant. I mean, what are we doing here? Talking about what I’d like to see changed, and other people are talking about why they don’t want it to change.
People talk on here all the time about the way pitches shouldn’t hang. But pitches do hang. Does that make saying that they shouldn’t irrelevant?
I’m just confused by the way you’re dismissing hypothetical scenarios as irrelevant, when every conversation about how people wish the game was different in any number of ways could be called “irrelevant,” too.
And if you feel that any conversation about proposed changes is irrelevant, then, okay. That’s your feeling on it. Doesn’t seem worth it to engage, though.

I disagree,
Sure you do get Mantle/Biggio/Sheffield day one, but I don't think that means "Ok just open it up to more end-game players" It opens up a very slippery slope that could ruin probably the most fun time in the game, the time when we all don't have god squads and are running different teams.
Why don't we make 99 players the innings programs right away because you can get Sheffield/Biggio/Mantle day one! Some people may not be around to complete other innings programs later in the year!
Why don't we make event rewards end game players? You can get Mantle/Sheffield/Biggio day one, and some people may not have the time to play events later!
I love the early game when there are very few end-game players, we don't need more and more creeping closer to release day.
Couldn’t agree more. I would love it if they totally changed the rating system and there were only like 1 99 rated card per position. It would create much more lineup diversity.

My point is you were holding to this point that first: no one would buy at that price and I showed that you can instantly get 1m because there are people waiting in line to buy it for 1m. Then you went off about how cards could be higher if there wasnt a cap, which still doesn't invalidate any of my points
The fact of the matter is that the early ones sell for as much as the later ones. No hypothetical situation changes that current fact. -

it actually wouldn't, it would kill it
We saw it with immortals in 18. Making only a few cards at each position 99's leads to everyone having the same lineup. -
Why not just make World Series later in the year? Problem solved
-
Don't have to worry about it if you don't make world series!
This guy does not have to worry about it!

There are quite a few card collectors in this game. With the absurd abundance of stubs this year people are obviously willing to pay 1M for most of the WS rewards at this point in the season even a 91 Hornsby.

The fact of the matter is that the early ones sell for as much as the later ones. No hypothetical situation changes that current fact.Not really, though. You showed that the card was priced at that much, but not that someone bought it at that much.
What someone pays for something determines its value, not what price the seller sets.
If someone makes WS now, and they have every WS reward that they want, they aren’t picking 91 Pierre and selling him because he isn’t worth as much as other WS rewards.
Pierre is 780k or so, meaning the seller gets 700. With the others they get 900. Pierre isn’t being used in-game and he isn’t being bought at 780k.
