Adding cards and watching the crowdsourced values. I love TCDb, don't get me wrong but why so much love for Carlton Fisk? There also must be a lot of Cardinals fans here. I see a lot of higher values for Ozzie Smith. Not saying these aren't good players and it's NOT a big deal, just an observation and comparing to some Mattingly, Puckett, etc, seems out of whack.

I see you are a fairly new member. Search the forums on pricing on tcdb. It meaningless.

I hear ya, but I don't think its an issue just for the site. I feel card prices are bizarre hobby-wide. Hobby-wide, why is Ozzie Smith RC more than double a Dave Winfield or Tim Raines RC ? Why is Yadier 4x Buster Posey? Then one may say it seems Cardinals are overpriced, but then again Willie McGee's RC is pennies.

I noticed that about McGee too! Was strangely offset by the premiums on Ken Caminiti! Lol

Over the past few years, I've noticed a huge spike in both the number of people who are fans of Ozzie and the value of his cards. The spike coincided with his addition as one of the first diamond players in MLB The Show in 2018 so I think that may be a contributing factor. He was also a boss of one of the programs in MLB The Show 2020. Just a guess!

From what I've seen, the pricing here only relevant to the person who entered the prices. I am thankful for the option to hide the pricing while looking at my collection.

It is about popularity. If more people want to collect a particular player then his prices will be higher. Still, never rely on pricing on this site.
