I've spending a lot of time in the Maverick chat on discord recently (just reading, can't post). One of the discussions that piqued my interest and I wanted to share was about how the expectation that prices plummet during the general sale might not happen.
Now I'm not saying things will or won't happen, it's all too dynamic and very hard to predict. But when everyone believes something is going to happen, the market has a way of surprising you.
Looking at the simple economics behind the supply and demand of cards, it's easy to assume a price drop due to a massive amount of cards hitting the market during the general sale. But what is a majority of packs aren't opened? And what if whales decide to scoop up cheap cards once packs run out? The pent up demand is something to consider.
Just wanted to throw this on your radar. My plan is to dollar cost average in over the next couple of weeks and hopefully get myself a decent deck for Gold.
What are your thoughts and are you planning to go on a shopping spree during the general sale?

My primary goal is getting enough packs to add the full CL collection to my Silver & Gold league regular foil accounts and a good chunk of the CL cards into my gold foil account. For as long as the $4 packs last after that I'll buy with game earnings and hold the packs long term as investment assets. Splinterlands has proven multiple times that getting game assetts at the store price is a great move if you're willing to hold those assets for over a year longer.
Although in the current markets it's a tough decision between converting game earnings into CL packs or SPS, I think the unknown availability of the CL packs makes that the right choice. I think there is a much better chance we see CL packs at $40 by this time next year than seeing SPS at $2.
