Notes from the Headghoul on the Diamond Dynasty market.
Ketel Marte is a 90 today and he was a 90 in March. He cost 100,000 stubs then and 8,480 now — down 92%, without losing a single point of OVR. Jeremy Peña, an 85 who cost 3,730 in March, is up 7%. Nine cards, none of them re-rated, and the only thing that predicted the damage was the March price.
We said GU14's sweeper nerf might cool the elite relievers and lift contact bats — and promised to report back with real prices. The receipt: 72 sweeper & slider arms graded against the price history. The twist? Most had already bled out before the patch ever landed.
The Ranked 1000 Duran and the All-Star Duran are the same card. I diffed every field. Same attributes, same quirks, same OpScore — the only real difference is one you can sell and one you can't.
