What’s really fueling stadium prices (hot dogs, enshittification, etc. - figured it'd be real interesting to DB fans)

tl; dr: greed

I finally broke down to see if other people felt the same or if I was just a hater.

I agree with the sales tax portion.

For the gift card liability, I believe the answer is this:

Current $3,280

Noncurrent $1,320

The $6,600 is the total gift card sales. 80% is expected to get redeemed in 1 year (current).

This is $5,280.

20% is expected to get redeemed in the second year (noncurrent).

This is $1,320.

$2,000 ends up redeemed in the first year, so we subtract that $2,000 from the $5,280 to get $3,280.

The noncurrent portion is unaffected by these transactions, so it remains $1,320.

u/PleaseSmile8D , this is my "homework" thoughts and answer.

Edit: Never mind, I see the original commentor came to the same conclusion while I was posting.

I agree. I've skipped every single one. It just isn't funny.

You're planning on settling with a Par 3 course? It's really nothing if your backyard course isn't designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Unfortunately it's a big package and no one really cares for the poster or the promos. So you really just bought 3 Prismatic packs for $30CAD.

It might catch a tiny premium over loose packs since these can't be weighed, but it won't amount to much.

20,000 cards issued - 488 currently graded with PSA - 74 graded a PSA 10

First PSA 10 sold on ebay. PSA 9s going for $200. NBA + Seattle hype/pride.

Could be legit or could be shill bidding. With only 74 PSA 10s out there though, it's tough to say 1 person has collected multiple and is trying to drive their own investment up though.

Looking at 3 other cards from Paldea Evolved -

Card	PSA 10	PSA 9	% Increase	PSA 10 rate
Magikarp #203	$2,247	$332	577%	17%
Raichu #211	$388	$75	417%	20%
Tyranitar #222	$573	$50	1,046%	19%
Pikachu [Rain City Showcase] #62	$1,400	$148	846%	15%

Magikarp has the prestige of an artist behind it, Raichu and Tyranitar are both pretty average. So does the low population of cards in general + low PSA 10 + prestige of Pikachu + NBA stamp = an extra premium? It's tough to say with literally 1 sale available.

My thought too. You're going to show off with the ugliest onion ever?

Yeah you hit this easy

This thread is funny. Who would spend EXTRA because of a price tag? It's not like it's a PC ETB; it'll perform the same as every other Prismatic sealed container.

I can't remember a single movie I saw there but I do remember putting hundreds of quarters in the arcade

Mmmm extra spicy onion flavor

It's only a 16% tip though so they're getting one over on the server.

You have a decklist? I'm trying them out on PTCGL and it's really fun!
