My observation tonight is that the Perfect/Diamond market has collapsed. There are many, many diamonds on the AH right now and it is hard to sell one for much more than the autosell value.
Note: I am talking about MLB 2018 Live cards only, not historical. |

There are currently 108 diamond cards for sale, and only five have a bid above the autosell amount - none over 6000.

Saw a Mickey Mantle there and before I could get my credit card it was gone. Someone got a steal.

Edit: Sold 25K, 1 bid. He got 22.5K after fee and could have gotten 20K with autosell. I sold a Sale in the beta for 55K. Last edited by Orcin; 12-03-2018 at 08:45 PM. |

The market for 2018 Live cards is down to the level where you can barely get more than the vendor price. Why would you bother listing a Cole card if you pulled it today and don't need it?

WHY would you list that card for 4k ...? WHY...?
Basic math, anybody?

At this point (already only a week into live play!!), the BIN price is the price that matters. There is no point in worrying about the min bid because the only ones that get a nibble are the stupid ones.
Edit: Again, talking about MLB Live cards only. Historical is still functioning as you would expect because the demand far exceeds the supply. Maybe the supply of historical cards should be increased relative to the MLB 2018 Live cards. Then, we might have more variety in the top teams out there.

You think I would be all for increasing the supply, but I like the rarity more than everybody gets one. Makes the collectors have to work a bit to get them. If you can call it work. HaHa

Historical cards are also more likely to perform at or above their overall ratings. If this is not true, then it is still an accurate portrayal of the perception of historical cards.

Yup, just saw a 2000 Andruw Jones (88) go for 17k, which is easily double of what almost all 2018 diamonds are fetching. If they fetch anything at all.
But to be honest, 4k ain't the real value of any diamond. This might be another failed math calculation by people, who think they have a good chance to hit a perfect with four packs. Spoiler: you might rather not.

The only thing keeping Kris Bryant and the 3B Army above 4K is the autosell value.

I have sold way more diamonds and gold cards than I currently have on my roster. All 2018 Live cards. It all goes towards packs to try and get that big hit. Which I got the other day with Randy Johnson. I don't buy through the Auction House either, use it all for packs. Just for the thrill of opening them and possibly hitting it big.
BTW, my team the last I checked was 1 1/2 GB in our division. We could probably be in first with all the diamond and gold I sold, but we are still competitive. Everybody has their own way of playing and what makes them happy. In the end, that is all that matters.
