@Grungypunk_MLBTS Nice summation actually, lowering the QS values on Golds really mucked it up.

@Grungypunk_MLBTS And the bottom line is it's not a free economy right now, it's an economy with restrictions. I understand the 20 card limit is trying to prevent so much stub flow but where did they arrive at 20 from? It seems like such a small number.

@cusejuice315_PSN You're so far off base that you can't even see the truth. These artificial limitations SDS has put on the market has basically destroyed it, what is difficult to understand about the worst market I've ever seen? You keep coming up with this non sensical argument about a Robinhood app that makes zero sense. Go look at any economy that has artificial limitations on it and tell me the results.

It's definitely not as easy this year with flipping being limited. The 20 card rule keeps prices in a range and doesn't allow big market swings. I'm sure this was SDS goal as they want to be the stub source instead of just flipping or working the market.

@aaronjw76_PSN Because it's all predicated on or 2 cards holding up the entire market.

There are so many diamonds right now within shouting distance of QS and as cheap as they've ever been. I mean what could go wrong with less stubs and the same amount of card supply?

@Teak2112_MLBTS Point me to a year where the card prices have been so cheap it's not ever worth it? All they're doing is front flooding the market and then limiting the amount of selling. This isn't hard, this is basic economics 101.

@Teak2112_MLBTS Actually it is, if you spend 75k and are recouping 25k at best there is almost zero incentive to rip. I've been playing this game for 10 years it's the worst I've ever seen the economy.

@Sarge1387_PSN Thank you because he doesn't seem to understand it.

@aaronjw76_PSN It doesn't stimulate the market, when cards are going for dirt cheap there is no incentive for people to rip chase bundles. This isn't a healthy economy right now.

I'm getting the Gateway timeout as well

These are all good points, but he's third in the league in WAR this year even with abysmal defense.

One thing to keep in mind is the Gold market is high on certain cards like Stanton because they are viewed as diamond possibilities.
