The seller(s) stubbornly haven't wanted to drop below 140-150K for some reason. Most cards are going unsold at this price. Makes me think the 'bottleneckers' are just sort of bad at pricing. Or exceptionally greedy over 10-20K PP.
It's been quite the standoff and I'm willing to keep waiting. I'm all in for 142K PP on the Cardinals' 10-pack so far accounting for the SE cards that I've already sold. Still need to get Hrabosky or 97 Gibson and also still have a handful of SE Cardinals to sell off. Will probably end up completing this one for about 200K.
A 97 Gibson has appeared for 139/140K if anyone is interested. I'm also thinking that because no more than 1 card is appearing at a time, this whole thing is probably being bottlenecked by just one person.

No, there were two Gibson cards. I put one up for 149k/179k just to see what would happen. Shortly after, the 139k/140k card appeared (BTW thanks…).
So I cancelled mine and put it back up for 124k/129k. It sold in minutes.
There is a price point for these final collection cards. I have paid up to finish a collection myself. I do not see anyone getting 100 Ozzie (or any of the other end game cards) today for under 100-200k unless you are extremely lucky and/or patient. I imagine it will get only worse as the offseason continues.
And yes, while the sellers seem to be exceptionally greedy over 10k, the buyers seem to be extremely cheap over the same 10k. A virtual line in the sand, I guess.
