Its a glitch. People selling some of the commons for quick sell value of Golds. Its all over twitch right now.. There are few common free agents mostly 62/63s going for 4k quick sell value of a Diamond.

Yeah my 99 jazz now has a bronze badge too. I knew he’s having a down year but a bronze lol

Easy 30k this morning. How'd you all do?

You may not cheat, exploit or use any bugs, glitches, vulnerabilities or unintentional game mechanics in PlayStation Network or any of its products or services to obtain an unfair advantage.
They probably won't ban anyone for this, but you never know. Just fair warning.
I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but don't want anyone to get hurt, either. -
Looks like any 64 or 59 common that is on an All Gold Mini-Season roster has been given a gold badge and quick sells for 1k.

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but don't want anyone to get hurt, either.I get what you’re saying but in this case it’s a bug from their update. The individual users are not necessarily doing anything to glitch or exploit the game. Like I only found it because I wanted to sell some duplicates and the app was filtering random common cards to the top of my inventory

Knowing SDS they will ban users for doing this though. I wouldn't

True, but with all the backlash for the no sell rewards they might need to take this one on the chin for PR reasons. Banning Timmy and Jimmy cause they made 25k stubs off of their own mistake might not be worth it

Highly unlikely... With the amount of people have done this today they would knock out a high portion of their hardcore base if they did. Might as well shut down for the year if they do.
-
I just went and looked in my inventory and I see all my golds showing as commons. Don't see any commons showing as anything else though
EDIT: NVM found all the commons showing as golds. This is wild lol
-
Most of the Commons as golds are Free agents...
-
Eh not worth it fellas. Getting banned for 20-30k stubbs, or potentially banned anyways. That's like 20 bucks in stubbs, nah im good lol
-
I'm guessing that if this isn't solved quick it's going to screw the entire market up?

That would be my guess. With a large profit margin and how quickly commons can move, some people have probably made hundreds of thousands of stubs. We could see a little bit of inflation, which will only be made worse if there is a stub sale tomorrow.

But it literally says you “cannot exploit bugs”
I can definitely see them banning people for this because it hurts their bottom line- which is $$$$
I wouldn’t touch this glitch at all- not worth it

Yeah but what are people exploiting, they’re selling cards from their inventory. Other people are buying them. Some people were simply clearing duplicates from their binder. So they should just hold onto these cards for fear they’ll be banned by selling them. It’s one thing to actively be buying and selling these cards to maximize profit, but people selling inventory they had would be a ridiculous ban
-
Yeah, looking at the website I see 9 cards that are showing as gold that are not. I only have 2,000 stubs currently so a small influx would be nice, but I am not risking it.

Bro they stopped the sell of rewards to literally make more money
You think they’re ok with people manipulating a glitch in the market where they lose money…
And probably only die hards even know about this glitch and are doing it- the majority of players are at work or school
They can def lay the hammer down on 100-200 people or so-
If you wanna take my advice don’t do this.

I know this. It’s not manipulating a glitch unless you’re buying and quick selling the gold badges. I was clearing out my binder on the app. The app filtered random commons to the top of my inventory. So naturally I went to sell them and they sold to another user on the marketplace. The stubs didn’t come out of thin air.
