Stub Sales in regard to cards like trout
-
Actually, in the last couple years, stub sales cause a pretty big spike in card prices as everyone starts buying. So if you can spend a weekend without your stars, you can sell them off and buy them back cheaper. We'll see if this year is the same though.

Inflation results in an increase in the cost of things, due to a decrease in the underlying value of a currency. Stub sales are similar to the Federal Reserve doing quantitative easing... new cash floods into the market and the currency is devalued because there is more of it in circulation. Prices go up.

Stub sales inflate the market.

lmao thanks, I can't believe I confused the two.

@Bunyan236 The terminology is actually confusing. Inflation sounds like PRICE inflation. But it’s inflation of the total money supply.
It also means that after a stub sale, the stubs in your account are worth less. So calculate that into any long term strategy.

The card value obviously go up but just remember this year people locking cards for live series cannot quick sell them so that will be a little bit less stubs in circulation. Also, if you sell off your high-end cards you will have to wait a couple weeks after the stub sale ends in order to buy them back if that is your plan. Usually a stub sale last 2 weeks. So let's say you sell your high-end cards day one or day of the stub sale, you have to wait two weeks for the stub sale to end and then another two weeks give or take for the prices to come a little closer to normal value if they ever do. So plan on not having your good cards for three weeks or so. Is all of that worth some extra stubs? Some say yes some say no. Depends on if you want to play the game now or later with your God squad.

So if trout sells for 280k now, after a stub sale, im thinking 350k he will sell for? For this reason, i did not lock him into my collection...what do you guys think he gets up to?

Hard to say. The market could settle down and his price drops to 200k-250k before any stub sale, then inflate up to 280k-300k. Just a big guessing game.
