Auction Fraud? Or am I out of touch?

vapodge · 01-05-2026, 05:01 PM

I tried searching for where to report, but couldn't find it for the life of me.

There's a Rene Rivera 58 card on the variant AH right now at 50k. I get it, valuable in tournaments. How is it possible that the last 10 price is 334, 010? That seems crazy to me. Am I the crazy one?

I can pass this off to the moderation team to look into it; it probably is someone trying to funnel most likely.

If you ever see anything like this in the future, reach out to Nicolino via DM on here, and he can pass things along. Most times, the mod team has noticed things, but it's always good to get these kind of reports just in case things get missed, which rarely occurs.

this one is correct: it's a crazy good iron catcher.

iron uribe went for over 500k earlier this cycle. the rarity of these cards and the first to get them is valuable, and for the people who have a ton of points, are iron mains, and don't have much to spend on, this is pretty reasonable. i personally don't, because i don't think the gain is that much, but for the people who always want to keep tip top meta and don't do much else, it's fair.

Three weeks ago I put a 58 Curry Foley up for Auction and it sold for almost 180,000 PP

So that happens indeed

To use the VM to transfer PP's, since you can't bid against yourself. You have to have two bidders to chase the price up to something worthwhile.
