How the coronavirus affects LS market
-
Just my opinion, would love some discussion:
I think LS diamonds and high golds will hold their value longer this year. With no baseball being played right now, there won’t be updated ratings and players won’t be rising to diamond and falling to gold. I don’t think hoarding LS diamonds is the worst idea with the current climate what do y’all think? -
85-89 diamonds are already lower than they have ever been at this point in the game. Without inside edge I think most everyone besides Trout, Bellinger, Scherzer, Degrom, Arenado, and Acuna will be 5k by july

That’s why I think their value will hold. Hard to think, like, Jose Ramirez will from 10k cause he can’t physically drop 10k lol

I’m gonna go with a far faster loss in value than ever before (again except for the 90+ diamonds). With no quick selling locked diamonds, no stubs to be made off investments, and what appears to still be a good reward system from SDs (which will get lots of cards on the market), I just don’t see values holding up.

I think they raise in price. Without the ability to quicksell locked cards, there will be people chasing Mantle all year.
I think people thinking they will tank is wishful thinking.

And I think people thinking the 85-89s stay where they are/go up has no understanding of basic economics.

You wont have the inflation from the quicksell value, people arent going to stop ripping packs. Id say less people go for Mantle because of not being able to quicksell. 9 win BR diamonds from the get go makes way bigger of a difference than people realize as well.

It’s not hard. The inability to quick sell cards limits stubs, the lack of investment returns limits stubs, while the diamonds at 9 wins in br drastically increases supply. Couple that with the general fact that LS diamonds are less useable as the game goes on and you have an economic recipe for lower prices.

I think golds will fall to quick sell faster with no excitement about "who's going diamond in the next roster update" so there's no reason to start hoarding Soto's etc.

Not to mention diminishing demand as the year goes on, collections are completed, and the number of people actively looking to purchase a card shrinks on a daily basis.
