I think selling things for twice their value might have something to do with it. I can understand the allure, but don't do it.
IF someone isn't manipulating the market and only taking advantage of how others are manipulating if then how is the fault of the person putting in the sell order?
If I hadn't locked in for the collections last week then I likely would have sold trout, tatis, degrom, etc since I don't lock in anything until I have ALL the cards. I would have been banned for absolutely no reason or fault of my own.
Those actively manipulating the market deserve bans but people along for the ride do not.
What do you think is more likely:
A) out of all the people buying and selling that day OP was singled out and banned
B) OP bought stubs from one of the many sites advertised by youtubers and is playing the victim.
Op if you honestly did nothing wrong file a ticket and they will help you. And I'm sorry this happened to you.
I've seen a couple other guys post that they were banned as well, but they admitted to buying the stubs. What was strange was that one was banned for a year and the other for only a day.
I'm not making judgement. I'm simply replying to the scenario presented by person I replied to that said selling for twice the value was a problem which I disagee with anyone receiving a ban for IF that's all they did.

I mean, how is he or any of us for that matter supposed to know what is going on with the market if it is in fact that? There is ZERO communication from sds about anything.
I was once banned for some sort of vague manipulation scheme that they never explained to me. In fact that don't have to explain why you are banned. They "investigated" the matter and there was no such scam. We had the ban lifted and never found out what we were accused of. If it is market manipulation. I'd like to see the rules.

https://theshow.com/mlb-the-show-online-code-of-conduct/But it doesn't clearly explain what market manipulation is other than stub transfer. EDIT: OH i see now. I'm not sure how someone could significantly manipulate the market for very long.
-
I bet the majority did stub transfers. So easy to track.

On Twitter there are a lot of people saying they got banned for "flipping cards".

All my stubs were removed shortly after a sold one Trout for 627k. Wasn’t trying to manipulate the market, just saw he was selling high and made the move…

I'm in a facebook group for this game and theres a post with like 6-7 people that got banned because they didn't know buying stubs from a 3rd party site was against the rules. And after that post here yesterday it makes a lot of sense lmao. These dudes think this is madden and can illegally buy stubs on the cheap and get away with it. If you notice its not exactly forum regulars getting banned for this stuff

Yeah. Honestly I'm just amazed at how many people will just float their credit cards out there to those sketchy sites. Serves them right for trying to cheat. I love the charade, "I was just flipping cards" the best one I saw was some guy posted a picture of how he had 188 trouts and said it was a sds glitch.

I saw advertisements on several of the YouTubers and figured it was legit. Banned for a year. They should go after those sites not the customers who buy their game. I’ve bought 2 legit $100 bundles already. Was looking to save a dollar.

️They are going after the sites by going after the sites customers

Their value is whatever the market says it is.

️How much did you buy from the site? Just curious
-
Out of curiosity how does that work? When you buy stubs elsewhere? I've seen the ads and know I can't do it but how do you get the stubs?
What do they do, hack the show to get them to you?
-
If we take the OP at their word and they only sold single Trout card then the ban was unwarranted given the weirdness that happened the other day.
Of course as someone else mentioned that SDS can look at all of our transactions so I am leaning on there being more to this story than a single card sale.
-
If you sell anything for 100% profit in stubs you deserve the punishment.

What do you mean? Are you saying if you don't pay the tax? How is that possible? What else would you sell a card for if not profit? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, just trying to understand your point.

After reading this, I am more sure than ever that I will continue my approach of playing the previous year's version until fall, then get the newest version for a discount. By then all this market craziness has died down and it is a whole lot easier to build a good team by then without spending boatloads of real money on stubs or hours playing the 'market'. If this market is going to be so problematic, maybe it is time to remove it from the game. And I don't want to hear about how SDS makes needed money from selling stubs. They are wholly owned by Sony itself, so I don't think they need that little bit of extra cash.
