Are people purchasing in the auction house to build winning teams or to collect cards?

You have to look at the underlying ratings (stuff/movement/control), as the overall ratings are often inflated for the "live" cards. 95 Mathewson is 90/65/85 while 98 Syndergaard is 80/73/68. Mathewson also has a big stamina advantage. His is a better card. Is it 40K+ points better? Maybe not at lower levels, but in Perfect leagues when looking for every incremental advantage, sure, as long as you're comfortable losing some points in movement to get sizable stuff and control boosts.
