There's no way to quicksell a combi card..

The artificially high base prices for the combi cards discourage a large percentage of your customer base from buying them. Some theme team guys (Bunktown's White Sox) have a few fully boosted golds, but even for a theme team they are mostly bench players at this point in the cycle.

And I burned up about 25K "combi points" to boost my diamond Pie Traynor so I could us him for 2/3 of a season in a gold league while I completed the AL East PTE missions to have Gunnar for my 3B, and now I find that there's no way to sell a card that would probably have value for a tournament team right now because the card is treated no differently in the AH than a base combi card, and in turn that base combi card won't sell because the base sell price is artificially high.

So yes, from my perspective, this combination of decisions by the dev team has made the combis (a) more or less useless for non-tournament players,while (b) freezing those who don't have the PP's available to acquire and boost combis out of most of the tournaments, and then (c) making it virtually impossible for those who play the live tourneys to qualify for PTCS and PTMS tournaments to compete in those events because they get thrown in with the combi teams.

Oh, one of my teams has a fully boosted HR Baker, and he does quite well at upper level play. But I don't choose to invest my resources to collect enough of those guys to make it to PeL. And I find that there would be no way to sell him for George Brett level prices because the new owner would have to go through the boost process all over again, which would drive the open market price of that card way down compared to what I had to expend to boost him in the first place.
