Anybody think he is worth that much? I have 500k with a very good team and not much to buy so wondering if he is worth it.

Some cards are comically overpriced. I never ever reached 300K stubs, and if I did I might feel differently, but how does a card be allowed to get to let's say, 600K and up? The Gary Carter price is a joke, unless he's the best Catcher in the game, which is unlikely.
Donaldson may still be jacked up higher than a Quadruple espresso, and SDS allows this ish.

It has nothing to do with how good the actual player is, it has to do with the rarity of that card. With Gary Carter there might 50 of that card out there because he’s a flawless reward. Same goes for Feller and Wagner and all of the flawless rewards.

Really? So if no one wanted Wagner his price on the market would still be high simply because there are only a few of them? There is a demand side too.

Dwight Evans has had a much worse card priced higher than his FOTF basically all year. 4x higher at some times. It doesn’t happen often but it happens.

Yes really, it has everything to do with rarity. It’s called supply vs demand. It’s simple market economics.

He's right that there also has to be some demand. Otherwise all 12-0 br rewards would be going for Wagner's price.

Heck, in your own example you acknowledge a card's rarity as the supply in supply-and-demand, but then you completely overlook the demand aspect. You and I both know that br cards will always be higher because of it's rarity, but to sustain an elite price there also has to be demand.

That Gary Carter card has been that price since it was introduced. I’m guessing there might be 10 or so of those cards available being that he is not in my opinion as in demand as the say Wagner card that everyone who go’s flawless gets. And his price I believe is set by SDS at 500k. Might be wrong but his price has not fluctuated at all. And that’s a direct reflection of rarity.

You have it backwards a bit. Yes Carter is likely more rare than Wagner I agree. So why does he cost less than Wagner if rarity is all that matters? Demand matters too, and that is why Wagner costs more. Everyone wants Wagner and few people want Carter for that price.

I’m not arguing your point, I agree. I was unaware of the cost of Carter or any of the flawless reward card. I was merely pointing out that those cards are the price they are do to availability. If those cards were available in say a DOTP, Headliner, BB pack then we would be talking about prices in the 200k’s or lower as those cards are much more prevalent then the aforementioned cards we have been talking about.

Sale was good for the first few innings but hitters pick up on him quick, the two seam isn’t very good so that turns him into a 3 pitch starter. I sold him after a couple weeks, I think your better off with a guy like Scherzer.
