My name is Harry Lundt and I am a MyTeam Hoarder. I have a problem. I cannot bring myself to sell cards. I think I will want to use them. Sometimes I do, but mostly I don’t.
I’ve been pretty much off this game for the past couple months, but following along with the progress of the cycle is a hard habit to break. Some dumb part of me always wants to be able to get some of the latest cards.
I quit “playing the AH” much earlier, and also stopped conscientiously selling cards before they depreciated. So I have a whole lot of stuff that, with few exceptions, is not only not worth 100K or more, but is mostly worth ~20K or less.
Here’s just Diamonds and higher…

There must be a dozen or more Centers on that list. And, of course, I’ve got a ton of random Amethysts and below. Something like 75 or so whatever Heat Checks. A bunch of badges and Contracts and some DI Shoes. And about 150K in MT.
And, basically…just going to try to force myself to have a garage sale and liquidate a lot, so I have MT to spend in this endgame phase of the cycle.
Going to document in this Topic. I.e. how much stuff sells for, what I decide to keep, what I decide to buy, etc.
If you think this is boring or stupid, then I wholeheartedly encourage you to Mute this thread.
Hi my name is trala7 and I’m addicted to selling cards. I can’t stop myself selling cards, even the ones I love using… Then I miss them so I buy them back only to sell them a few days later. I lose a lot of MT.
I’m with you @HarryLundt. I’m sitting somewhere around 2600 cards… I can’t even sell my heat checks that aren’t locked in. For me it’s definitely an OCD thing.
For me, with regard to stuff like, say, older Diamonds, then it’s kind of an OCD thing. Like…I have over a dozen DI+ Centers and I don’t want to sell Bill Walton, even though I have at least a half dozen Centers that are better.
For all the cheap stuff, it’s a combination of OCD over getting a good price, and being too lazy to do the work to get a good price.
Yo I’m he exact opposite. I find myself wanting to sell cards even when they’re still doing good just so I can maybe get better ones. I lose a lot of mt that way because their prices drop and that 10% tax when you sell something
Hahaha. I hear you. Even though they don’t get tallied in Collector Count, and even when I was quick-selling shoes to raise MT at some point when I was super-broke (in terms of liquid MT), I had to pause to push myself to quicksell totally and utterly worthless non-Diamond shoes.
I.e. shoes that I wouldn’t even bother to put on a card for testing purposes.
And just because, for no reason, really, I just felt weird at creating an “empty” spot in the collection.
Last year i sold up just before the final crash and basically used that cash to buy 2K19. This year i think i’m far too lazy and will just let my collection die with the game.
The old school basketball card collector in me is what brings on this behaviour i think
