    Someone doesn't understand Supply/Demand...Econ 101. Audit a class at your local Ivy Tech. Heck hit up your local high school.

    There are also things called price floors and ceilings and if they had actually implemented reasonable ones this problem wouldn't be occurring.

    Yeah those floor and ceilings are decided by consumers, not the business. If a business wants to sell a plastic cup for $900, but no one buys, it's obvious the consumers have set a ceiling much lower then that

    Tell me how SDS couldn't implement this especially on obviously overpriced cards.

    So what you are saying is.

    "Hi players who have been with us all year, I know you have these cards you've worked all year to get, but we have now decided you can't cash in on those cards for good stub prices, we will instead punish you for having that card all year"

    Bruh, I'm not saying make and 85 John Smoltz 5k, but setting a max of 75k wouldn't be bad at this late stage in the year. It's worked great on FIFA Ultimate team. Also, if you have all of the collections done at this point, do you really have a reason to try and sell the Smoltz card for 250k other than greed?

    Greed lol. Look I really hate this word, like it pains me to type it, but you reek of entitlement. "Hey I want to not put in as much work but also have everything people have worked on all year!

    Also sorry but I don't want SDS copying anything on markets from EA, believe it or not, EAs model is ACTUALLY p2w. You don't need Griffey to win at all, plenty of good or better outfielders.

    Then go play FIFA if it’s so great. Getting cards now has been cheaper and easier than ever. You started late. That’s on you. If you started at the beginning of the year like the rest of us, you most likely wouldn’t have this problem. Many of us overpaid for cards early in the year but they are dirt cheap with many being at quick sell value. So should we get stub refunds because the prices for those cards have tanked. I would like 270,000 “stub refund” for the difference in the price of when I bought Trout to the price that it is now.

    I had to wait 3 weeks for a 60 overall card to finish up the live series collections. So I'd rather wait lines than pay a ridiculous amount. But hey maybe that's just me, we are all entitled to our own opinion.

    The high demand for Trout also makes sense given it's his best card, but the Smoltz has what, at least two other cards higher, I understand he's from earlier on in the year, but it feels like there could be something at this point where they could make it easier to attain older cards.

    Bruh, I'm not saying make and 85 John Smoltz 5k, but setting a max of 75k wouldn't be bad at this late stage in the year. It's worked great on FIFA Ultimate team. Also, if you have all of the collections done at this point, do you really have a reason to try and sell the Smoltz card for 250k other than greed?

    If they did that and set a max buy order of 75k for a card like Smoltz then every card would be like Finest Trout with huge wait lines.

    Didn't even think about that, A+ response right there

    The high demand for Trout also makes sense given it's his best card, but the Smoltz has what, at least two other cards higher, I understand he's from earlier on in the year, but it feels like there could be something at this point where they could make it easier to attain older cards.

    If that many people are willing to pay 200k-250k for Smoltz, there would absolutely be a line at 75k.

    It doesn't matter that Smoltz has higher cards, I feel you don't grasp how or why prices exist. No one is paying 250k to use Smoltz, it's just that he's a rare card type

    Someone doesn't understand Supply/Demand...Econ 101. Audit a class at your local Ivy Tech. Heck hit up your local high school.

    There are also things called price floors and ceilings and if they had actually implemented reasonable ones this problem wouldn't be occurring.

    Yeah those floor and ceilings are decided by consumers, not the business. If a business wants to sell a plastic cup for $900, but no one buys, it's obvious the consumers have set a ceiling much lower then that

    In every other sports game, prices decrease as the year goes on and promos come out, the prices spiking just deters more players who don't have the stubs to keep up with the collections and whatnot. What does it matter to you if you already have the Griffey card? I've paid a premium for plenty of players and then seen their price drop.
