COVID impact on Show 20 Market

It's a safe assumption that there will be far fewer stubs to go around this season, as additional real-money stub purchases are likely to be significantly fewer with millions out of work... this means stubs earned in the game should be more valuable than ever, as there are fewer purchased-stubs introduced into the pool. This should also mean cards, across the board, should cost fewer stubs... stub costs for cards should be down the same percentage as sales of additional stubs are decreased, assuming no other factors change. We'll never know the actual number, but I'd be shocked if additional stub purchases aren't down at least 25% from this date last season.
I've seen fewer people this year who bought stubs to the Mantle/Biggio/Sheffield trio... there's no other way to acquire those cards other than buying... and they probably cost $500-1,000 in real money this early in the game.
I wonder how SDS is going to handle this decrease in business... assuming they do a similar number of days where there are discounted stub sales throughout the season, will they try to make up for lost sales by offering more stubs for the same money? Or just continue on status quo and just deal with the lost revenue but not change anything?

It seems to me a LOT LESS way to earn stubs in this years game compared to last year. Add to that you cannot "quick sell" items already counted into collections or exchange these either, means more of a dependency to have to BUY stubs rather than rely on earning them....to me, who doesn't play online because I'm on a fixed income and retired makes we wonder......why bother?
