    The market for most of these players is at an All-Time high without classic players included....when a larger pool of good players becomes available it will dilute the value of a lot of these cards and make them much less desirable

    I just don't see the allure in paying for silvers and bronzes with over inflated values to collect them and to sell them at a much lower price later on

    For example....I invested 27-28K to complete the grizzlies

    I got my 25K bonus....then I have sold everyone but Conley, Lee, Adams, and Prince....Everyone else sold for 42,800 combined....Conley will go for around 8K when he sales, Prince will go for 2000-2500, Lee will go for around 4500-5000, and Adams will probably sell for around 4000-5000 (lol)

    The amount of profit I made from that single collection is the 250 & 300 card reward combined....once you get to around the 300 mark you are going to be seeing a lot of duplicates from packs or you will be paying top dollar for specific players in the auction house because the prices will definitely drop with the inclusion of more classic players/teams

    I honestly do not believe that Mike Conley will be selling for 7-10k a month from now

    Some people take advantage of the fact that their are a limited number of specific cards. I had to pay 3K for Shannon Brown bronze yesterday, and that was the cheapest. That's a big ripoff, not to mention Gerald Green
    was going for close to 20k.

    I'm not waiting for those guys to drop in price, I'm just going to sell them right back at the inflated prices I just bought them for.

    You can bet that a lot of players, especially gold players will lose a lot of value once legends start being available. Who's going to want a guy like Harden when you can play MJ there? Plus, people will be selling off their cards in order to fund their legend packs.

        I meant in the auction house.

        There does seem to be a big discrepancy in card supplies though. You will only see very few of a specific player (ie. Valanciunas), while there's hundreds of others (ie. Bosh). Whether these cards are actual rarer or not? I'm not sure.
