I claim the opposite. It obviously sticks out like a sore thumb. Best thing to do would be with a live gold card where there is a certain base price that you remain close to, relatively speaking.
And I will state first that some, me included, doubt that the "average" is actually an average, but if it were…:
Say, you want to shift 10k PP from one account to the next. If you use the Genesis Cabrera that gets sold, maybe, 20 times a week for 15 PP on average, and move one for 10k, the new true average would be:
(20*15) + (10,000) / 21 = 490
If you take some middle-of-the-road gold card that sells 20 times a week for 1,500 PP and you move that one for 11,500 (to shuffle actual 10k of value) …:
(20*1,500) + (11,500) / 21 = 1,976
Even with these token numbers and a relatively small amount of PP moved, the Genesis card jumps 33-fold in value, the equivalent of robbing a store with a bright pink getaway car in broad daylight, while the gold card only adds about 32%, which is not outrageous considering weekly fluctuations and might actually be invisible for a card that maybe dropped three or four or five points this week.
