Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
LOL, so true. Charge $800 which is 4 x what it should be, then charge 12 for a plastic tube. Shows what these clowns really know. We need that dude Pat back in there, even if he had the Julio Lugo's bats at $75 for 4 years straight. Give em away already, move some stock.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
I'd just ignore prices that high. Diaz is on fire now, but will be ever match Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen or other stars from the past 15 years? Chances are, he won't. And when you can get a Pujols bat under $1,000 and Edmonds and Rolen bats in the $200-400 range, it doesn't make sense to spend thousands on the flavor of the day. At $800, I see no way someone can come out ahead unless the bat was really significant. Even if he went on to make 10 All-Star games in a row, it's likely a $500 bat in 15 years.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
In the summer of 2015 the Cardinals wanted $750 for Dan Johnson's throwback uniform - hat, jersey and pants.....
In October, they lowered it to $600
In November, they lowered it to $500
In December, they stayed at $500
In January, they dropped to $350
In Feburary, they dropped to $350
In March, they dropped to $300
I offered $250 for the 4th or 5th time and they FINALLY accepted that price in March 2016
GOUGE.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
Unfortunately its become a business that is afraid to leave an extra dollar on the table. They are so afraid to sell something for $1 less than they could have gotten that they start at an insane price and work their way down till someone bites. Really takes the fun out of it.
On the flip side I'm sure its frustrating to sell something at a "bargain" price and see it on ebay a day later.

Re: Cardinals Authentics Jumps the Shark
The prices are high, but will people pay it. As long as that continues we really can't complain. Prices got this high because of the demand. I am sure they will adjust the prices to meet the demand. I noticed they dropped the prices on the mothers day and memorial day jerseys (Molina 4K down to 3K). That is a pretty significant drop. Believe it or not people were paying 4K for molina 12 months ago.
