definitely it is on the buyer, its no accident to win on PWCC. How rare is this particular card? I know very little about these promo/trophies? Seems like it could be a big ticket card to some degree

Itās very rare. Estimated amount of copies awarded in the hundreds. Itās one of those cards just owning at all is an achievement!

Dang, rarity for the sake of rarity isnāt enough I guess.
Pretty cool looking card but I can see why it dropped
There are also very little niche high end items from 2021 that didnāt lose 50-70% of their value since then. They were just way too high

Small annoiance:
1). Listed an item for $117 to get only 6% fee.
2). Estimated price changed in the meantime (I never know when they change this or based on what) so my card is no longer withing the 6% fee because it is no longer āgreat priceā
3). Item gets sold and I pay 14% fee.
Iām not going to check updated price and my listings every day, just keep my fee at 6% as the day that I listed it.
Itās only a few dollars so not a big deal, but I feel like thise could be handled different.
yikes!

Has anyone noticed this red warning banner recently?
Make payment now to maintain full app access.
If it is a reminder message then it should sound like a reminder message but it doesnāt.
Thoughts?
I just read it as stern language to avoid non-payers. They reduced the time to pay in the switch, so might be trying to draw more attention to it

Anything to deter non-paying buyers is a win!

From my design perspective the banner makes decent senseāthe full access app section probably doesnāt and can be replaced with āto bid on future cardsā for more clarity

The premier auction for Fanatics is STACKED this month 
Not sure I want any of the major items this month but hoping all of the hype and focus on the playtest cards will leave some steals in the main auction

This was the first auction I decided to bid in since PWCC switched its site over to Fanatics Collect. Pretty meh experience from the start for me. I decided to put in bids during extended bidding and couldnāt figure out why it wouldnāt let me for a couple minutes until I realized I had to zoom out to be able to see the button to confirm my bids.
Here is the confirm bids in my normal zoom.
And after zooming out.
Once I finally got bidding there seemed to be quite a lot of lag before the bids were placed. There were multiple items I bid on that would go to the next bidding block without my updated bid price. Then after 2 or 3 minutes in the block it would update with my bid from the previous time block.
Lastly, some of my bids must have gotten an error in one of the time blocks as there were items I was quite sure I placed bids on and then all of a sudden I saw they ended at the previous bid.
Overall, I am a bit disappointed as the site seemed slow and buggy during extended bidding. Still quite happy with my purchases though.

I had a similar experience with the lag. I donāt envy the developer there, itās tough to maintain an auction house especially when there is such a large concentration of traffic at the most critical moments.
Here are some things I threw bids on and won this week.
The entire Pokemon market overall feels less competitive lately. Much easier to find things that fly below the radar than a year ago

I agree. Some of those cards arenāt great auction items, which inherently agrees with your point. Some of those purchases are pre 2020 prices!

I donāt mean to use these as direct examples since I agree this is pretty low end stuff. But just the vibe Iām getting overall is that a year ago it would be hard to find anything that felt like a ādealā vs the last couple of months I feel like Iāve been getting discounts on auctions.
A stronger example is this which was almost 50% off the last auction price and I won it after forgetting I even bid on it
Or another example from pwcc
Compared to previous sales
