FAQ
Common questions
Why does a no-sell card change the recommendation?
No-sell cards cannot be listed or sold on the Community Market, so Diamond Pulse removes market-sale and flip paths and focuses on squad value, collection value, exchange value, or quick-sell floor.
Why does the Roster Radar not show every card?
The Roster Radar focuses on Live Series cards because those are most tied to roster updates and real-world performance. Non-Live cards can still be searched in the advisor and market tools.
What does Market Pulse measure?
Market Pulse ranks cards by directional marketplace signals such as price level, buy-sell spread, rarity, quick-sell floor, and listing pressure. It is a decision aid, not a guaranteed prediction.
What is collection opportunity cost?
It is the usable stub value you give up when you lock a sellable card into a collection. Diamond Pulse compares that lock cost against your goal, ownership state, no-sell status, and squad need before recommending collect, hold, sell, or keep liquid.
Why do manual prices matter?
Manual Buy Now and Sell Now values override live data when the API is delayed, stale, missing, or when you want to test a specific sale price before making a decision.
Can Diamond Pulse connect to my PlayStation account?
Not right now. Account or inventory linking would require a separate security, privacy, and terms review before it should be considered.
Is Diamond Pulse affiliated with MLB The Show?
No. Diamond Pulse is an independent fan tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sony Interactive Entertainment, San Diego Studio, PlayStation, Major League Baseball, MLBPA, or MLB Advanced Media.
