Okay, so no bot. Why then is the market so ridiculously tight? The supply and demand theory isn't logical.
There are often cards being sold well below an ROI or with such a small ROI that it doesn't make sense to flip them given the time required to place the orders.
I've spent way too much time analyzing this and I've concluded that either there is a not so sophisticated bot, or people are just kind of stupid.
What other possibilities could there be?

Other possibility being they bought the card days, weeks, or even months ago why prices where down. They are selling card at small loss to free up capital to purchase a new card they feel excited about/want.

Feel like you are over-simplifying the market and people.

C'mon, it's Griffey Jr braw! He's already in my NMS lineup.

@sevisonjn_psn said in SIG Billy Wagner:

Not the same situation as last year as the WS program each month allows you to win 30 and pick that card every monthly innings program.

Good point, that should help supply out over last year.

Will this card stay at 1 mill stubs and end up being long waiting line like last year? Trying decide if I should get in line or wait for it to drop...but the drop in price may never happen. Thinking time value of stubs, I should probably throw order in now and get in line.

I never got the second 42 series choice pack that came with my $100 reserve copy of the show. Even submitted help ticket. Also has Walker Buehler LS diamond card disappear around opening week.

I'm buying Santana off the market, price finally dropped. My end game catcher now

Is his swing good as his LS card?

@theblindrhino said in The ultimate roller coaster of emotions:

He meant his ticket submission made it clear which card should be added.

Ooohhh okay, my bad. Apparently I cannot read. Maybe I'm sour about not getting one of my two 42 series choice packs for reserving the edition that got you two.

In late April I made a mistake. I accidentally took two 42 series cards. This made it literally impossible for me to earn 42 series David Fletcher and thus 99 Jackie Robinson. It was a sad time. I submitted a help ticket to the show support on May 2nd. I figured it was worth a shot….

A few days ago I checked my email. What a day! The show responded saying exactly what I was hoping they would say! They mentioned they reviewed my request and added the missing card to my account. I logged in as soon as possible to finish the 42 collection and add 99 Jackie Robinson to my team. However, I logged in and to my horror the card the show added was not missing David Fletcher. Instead it was another no sell 42 Bob Gibson. I responded as soon as possible but I doubt they will follow up. I’ll submit another support ticket and hope Jackie can eventually make my team

Yes, I clearly stated I was missing 42 series David Fletcher. This was not a mistake on my end. I do greatly appreciate the show responding and trying to make it right. I thought the community could take pleasure in my misery. Thanks for reading.

How is it not a mistake on your end that you took two of the same 42 series cards? You had to click it while it said "own x1", yet you still clicked it and somehow you made no mistake??

LS Yasmin Grandal crushing it on AS... tier 2 already, he gets my MVP award.

In RS it's pathetic. But in BR anything goes! And in events I'd probably do it if I was grinding it and thought it had a good chance of working. Time saved is a precious commodity sometimes!
I also have no issue with people doin it to me for the same reasons.

However, the people that take the extra lead every pitch, the people that call time at the plate in EVERY 2 strike count (Yes, I experienced this very recently!), the practice swingers of years gone by, the bunt dancers, the habitual HR replayers, the ones that try to make u think a can of corn is a HR by sprinting towards the wall, and finally, the people who take the near maximum time between every pitch in a FUTILE attempt to fool the batter into thinking a PHAT one is coming right down the pipe via auto-pitch, did I cover everyone? Well........

They can all choke on a BBC!

Love,

Bill

Happy Holidays everyone.

What does the BBC acronym mean?

They must have no life if that makes them salty enough to spend the time to do all that work just to block cheap buys cause people bet on right card going to Diamond. Not like they didn't have same opportunity. I actually kind of pity the person that this is worth their time. Oh well, no biggie I already have plenty of stubs so makes no difference to me if I never see these buys go through. Actually more think about it starting to enjoy fact that they are salty and wasting their time to block orders
Really lame people shared the secret to get more followers. Shame on them.

@BearDownGoBlue said in LS Arozarena why does someone keep placing buy orders for no profit?:

My guess would be using them for TA exchanges but who knows could be someone that just wants to watch the world burn.

I think it is the latter because there are over 1k orders! Could be multiple people but seems like awful lot of cards to exchange and not even very good exchange rate on low diamond. Never gonna get my 127 orders for Randy 🥺

For Pete's sake, why does someone continue to block buy orders for less then 5k by putting in trainload buys at 5k?
If they where making profit I'd understand but sell price is so low after tax not good card to flip. This has me scratching my head what is this person's logic? Are they just trying block the old cheap buy orders? And if so, why?

Truthfully, much money you spend on stubs?

How heck would someone be worse on PS5? Makes no since when considering higher refresh rate than PS4, which has been proven to help people see the ball. This makes me think issue is not PS5 and that SDS adjusted sliders or something on backend.

Just got new Monitor.....such difference compared to my 55".... its like I can actually read the ball and tunneling now.

Anybody figure out how best to keep this guy bottled up besides L1+X or LH pitcher?

Also hope not released on PC if cross platform. PS4 only has like 60Hz refresh rate and PC can have over double that which makes it easier to read pitch.

@pistol27pete I have same error, talking to others that do as well on Discord. Theory is that something is wrong with server and they are probably working on it and nothing we can do.
