Playing this game lets you see supply and demand in action. In the first several weeks after launch of this game, the AH was an inefficient market --- there were a lot of good deals to be found because people had not yet discovered the "killer cards" --- cards for each position that dramatically overperformed their overall rating. The other thing is that people spent much of their PP on ripping packs, increasing the supply of cards offered on the AH.

Several weeks into the game, the "killer cards" at each level are pretty much universally known. As everybody wants a "Lou Boudreau" or a "Johnny Pesky" or a "Greg Maddux" on their team (for example), the prices on these cards have gone through the roof. Also, people are upgrading their roster one position at a time --- so they want to find their cards on the AH rather than ripping packs so much.

The introduction of collection missions have thrown another wrench in the works.

Note, however, that there are some good (but not killer) cards on the AH, that are NOT part of collections, that you can get a good price on. It is all based on supply and demand; it's just that now the AH is a significantly more efficient market.
