Why is LS Max Scherzer so expensive?
-
Last time I was logged on buddy was like 80k. He's the last card I needed to get Randy.
I'm at 160k right now. We'll get there. Always do. Just wondered why the price jump this late in game?
-
He’s been over 200K for at least 2 weeks cause I’ve pulled him twice in that period (at this point, you can kindly tell me to GTH).
He’s still a 90+ gatekeeper so until those packs get released, he’ll remain high.
Don’t lose hope. Randy is all they say. So is Clemente. Utley is … eh. Gary Carter is the 2nd best Catcher in the game behind Biggio.

Two words --- Stub. Sale.
Just started today on PSN

Probably for the same reason Trout and deGrom are. Those are the last two I need to get Randy.

Cause idiots pay , 97 Smoltz just as effective used well. Same reason a dog licks hisself, Cause he can.

97 Smoltz doesn’t help you get the Live Series collection done...Scherzer does.

I was so excited to get Clemente, but we aren't friends anymore

This statement caught my eye, and I got curious because I like the Biggio card. I'm working on him at 2B toward P5. I don't think it's fair to say Biggio is the best catcher we have (as of yesterday's roster update), though. Nor do I think it's fair to say that Bench is the second-best card we have for Catcher.
Here are the results. I have the top 5 by attributes. The columns are Name, Team, OVR, Series, Primary, and Secondary. These numbers do not consider the attribute hit players take when playing a secondary position. Also, I did not look at every catcher to see who has the pop-up quirk. Enjoy.
