Also wanted to reiterate my inability to speculate on cards myself. I'm clearly not trying to do volumes anywhere close to what I described above, but I bought a single 88/gold Willson Contreras card last night while watching the Cubs game. He's been nuclear hot this past week and I figured he'd be a shoo-in to go diamond. So, buy for ~2K and quick-sell for 4K was the gameplan. And he increased all the way up to...89? Again, I'm sure there's some algorithm, but I feel that Contreras should've got the bump to diamond for going 7/14 with 2 HR, 2 BB. Oh well, I suppose the sample size was just too small. Grumble grumble.
In response to your annoying to sort through comment, type wond|rook|leg|all-s|recor|hero into the player name box when on the auction house and you can filter out live cards. It will at least eliminate the large amount of 78-79 Live cards you are seeing. It's probably not the ideal fix to your problem, but it should still help a little
