As I type, at the auction house;

Cisco Carlos (70) 72,797,280

Endy Chavez (67) 20,642,065

A new level of skullduggery, gentlemen

Somebody has a sticky tab key and doesn't look at what they're entering:
Cisco Carlos (70) 7,279......7,280

Endy Chavez (67) 2,064..... 2,065

See that surprisingly often.

Ah... Good spot

. That clearly being the case I apologise for my lack of cognitive perception and withdraw any accusation of foul play.

He won't sell much though

I've seen that several times over the months.

Makes for great theater though, doesn't it?

professor ape · 11-12-2021, 01:54 PM

It would be quite a day if someone got stupid and bought them.

BigRed75 · 11-12-2021, 07:10 PM

The fun thing is when the person doesn't notice and it sits on the AH for 24 hours. Because of course no-one is going to buy them at that price

And by fun, I mean not fun

Honest mistake. But what's going on with Ike Kamp, John Kroner, and Bob Sykes?

A few days ago L10s were in the 30s and now around 18,000.

That's idiots trying to funnel points, which are almost certain to be caught by the system and reported to the game team.

According to Kris in a Discord post that's pinned in one of the channel, "most of the transactions people point out have already been caught by our automation and those teams have likely already been actioned. In certain cases, that action can take days as situations are investigated. A lot of the sales we see are a handful from one team to another, but we also see more complex and complicated situations that require additional investigation and resources to ensure that the proper teams are identified and proper action is taken."

Hit tab please when selling?

I am the proud owner of an 88 Glen Perkins with a L10 of 25K+ that I got in a pack and have no idea what to sell him for. He's not a part of any missions.

This seems to be rife at the moment, Newt Randall currently has an L10 of just under 54000.

A lot of people with spare cash buy up silver and above historics not in any missions on the assumption they will be at some point - look at the prices for silvers in the Selects missions now, for example. That one, actually, is a pretty good Gold tourney card as well, which might account for some of the price it's selling for. As to selling, asking prices currently up are a better guide than the L10; the current 'real' price is around 18k.

Always good to see another Rex Stout fan!

Those missions last week are brutal. I opened almost 1500 packs since they came out and have not pulled a playoff POTM. I have done pretty well in general so I haven't lost a ton of PP but it is still frustrating.

I haven't even bothered looking at the tourney reward missions, I had exactly zero of the cards and have only managed to pick up one in a PL daily since last Thursday. At least those are only pack rewards so a nice little bonus but definitely not a requirement.

Might be awhile before I get the Yogi reward though, those silvers and golds are going for 200k+ with so few in circulation.

Agreed. When missions are announced with cards that are not in the game before the collection, it takes a lot to find and the cost is outrageous. I will stick with Dickey as my lefty Catcher for now. Maybe in a month or two the Yogi card collection will be reasonable?
