<![CDATA[Margins are wild]]>Alright, someone explain to me how theres cards with Buy Nows at 30k and Sell Nows at 17k....and they sell in about an hour. So, thats just easy 10k profit for no work at all, right.

I hate flipping, but Im sure as shootin' gonna do it if thems the stakes.

It feels stupidly broken.

I dont blame the flippers for flipping - theyre not doing anything wrong. Heck, they're acquiring stubs way more efficiently than the poor saps grinding mini-seasons.

And, I have no issue at all with people investing wisely. Buying low, selling high, not buying stupid packs, acquiring cards that will be in demand later, etc. Everyone should be encouraged to do that.

It's how I really got into the game back in like 18 or 19. I wasn't good enough to get the good cards so I figured out how to make enough stubs to buy the team I wanted. Then they nerfed my process like 3 years in a row and now I rarely make a point to flip.. I'm just opportunistic with my investments.

And they dont really actually play the game. And they cause inflation for people who do play.

Id much rather those stubs go into the account of someone whos pretty good but not great - maybe he struggled up to 800, got his rewards and sold them high, did all the offline content. He's grinding out the legit no-money-spent experience - not selling and reselling bat skins according to an algorithm.

Get good and win 6 straight on double triple super ninja legend mode! Okay, maybe. Oh yeah, there are a large amount of cheaters this year. If you are good enough to bank the stubs you need through playing, hell yeah! I'm happy for you. It's much funner hit baseballs than refreshing an app 37 times a minute.

But, it really shouldn't exist. Its an insult to players who play and grind the game as intended (get good and get rewards, do all the content, etc.).

I think I ended last year with 500 chase packs not opened, maybe over a thousand
