Suggestion: Refine Auto-Sell Player Cards

[useforbaseballsim]

Within "Perfect Team Settings" is a section called "Auto-Sell Player Cards." The options within that section allow you to auto-sell a card based on the card's OVR value. You also have the option of auto-selling only duplicates.

Using the auto-sell feature is, right now, a huge mistake. There are iron variant booster cards that sell for thousands of points, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. If you cannot safely sell even iron duplicates, this feature is effectively unusable.

I suggest adding two refinements.

First, an option to auto-sell only live cards. Especially after the final live update, these cards, particularly the lower-tier cards, will tumble in value and be safe, reliable quicksells.

Second, an option to only auto-sell a card with an L10 that is greater than 0 (to avoid new cards) and L10 than a value specified. An historic iron with an L10 of 8pp is probably a quicksell for many players. As an alternative to requiring an L10 over 0, you could instead include an option to not auto-sell any card that is "new" enough to receive a "New" designation when packed.

The point, at bottom, is to let us auto-sell without fear of auto-selling something valuable. Right now, we can auto-sell based on OVR, but OVR is a poor indication of value.

Yeah I get what you're saying. That said, sometimes I do some "speculation on the market" and go out and buy live cards for players who are doing well knowing they are going to get a bump in the next update, and wouldn't want them auto-sold. In essence, I probably wouldn't want to auto-sell cards myself.

I know this isn't the easy quick sell you're looking for, but maybe this can help. I usually just use the roster | manage cards | FILTER to sort out which cards I want to sell. And because OOTP/PT saves those filters, I don't usually have to redo those. For instance, I'll set filters for Overall <= 79, Overall >= 70, and PT L10 Value <= 140, then I'll click the "duplicates only", tag all, and quick sell. Rinse repeat for bronze, and iron cards and the appropriate ratings/value. I'm sure others could post some favorite filters too. Hope this helps!
