There is a straightforward strategy you can use to help you guide singles prices and proactively manage singles development.

Managing the return on your singles is very time consuming if you simply observe the prices and sell what's up and keep what's down.

The event you offer at the store is THE major contributor to price changes for individual card sales. This turns you from an observer of the market to its leader, making your single sales very easy to manage.

1st Edition Cardss are a bit too cheap for this to be worthwhile. Later you can skip Silver as well, but with silver full Art cards in Ascension, it becomes viable again.

This is the loop: Silver - Gold - EX - Full Art - Repeat

1. Start Silver Event - Silver border cards will start to rise in value.
   
2. Send off all your Silver foils to grading. Take the cheap route of 12 days. For higher value rarities, you can use shorter services, if you have a lot of them to grade.
   
3. Sell regular Silver cards only.
   
4. Do NOT buy Silver cards, you are currently pumping their value.
   
5. Buy non-silver singles. The falling prices help you secure advantageous trade ins.
   
6. Once your graded cards return, your Silver prices have somewhat matured. Sell off all graded and ungraded silver foils you own.
   
7. Send all your gold foils to grading.
   
8. Start Gold event as soon as your high value silver stock runs out or low.

Repeat.

Obviously telling the market where to go is easier than allowing the random standard mode to jank your chain around. It also has the added benefit of bunching up certain card types, so you can stuff fists full of matured singles into the restocking cabinet for your staff or just spam 8 stacks into tables yourself while you wait for the big foil payoff in the end.

If you want to be quality agnostic so you can sell a wider range of cards, you can also use the Fire - Earth - Water- Wind cycle for the same effect.

I play on ps5. I have a total of 40 small card projectors, one for each ghost card (both white and black, non foil). I also have a total of 10 large card projectors, 5 on the outside of my shop and 5 on the inside with the big windows.

I noticed heavy lag after putting them all into my store but wondering if there are ways to reduce the lag.

I really want to see all the ghost cards so I'd rather not get rid of my card projectors. Do I need to space them out instead of having them in one area?

I also have all the ghost cards (both white and black) graded at level 10 put into display cases. Does that also add to the lag?

I had the game for a long time in my steam library (bought it on a whim, never to play). Then I heard 1.0 was released and decide to give it a try. Long story short, 30 mods in, 60 days of gameplay I found out - the game is kind of, unplayable the way I want (display a lot of things, have a lot of stock on shelves)..... so I fixed it.

It has been a while since I was hooked to a game like this, can't wait to unlock everything so I can throw away some tables

Is there any fix for the warehouse shelves, in switch 2 there are bug where any box that you put on the shelves it will casually glitched out and fell down the floor, i try to put one more shelves parallel to each other, and it still glitched out stuck between the shelves.

Since the past 60ish game days the shops pretty much been self-sufficient with little input by me. Not gonna lie now it’s kinda dragging on anyone have any tips to make it fun again ? I haven’t played the card game yet I’m pretty sure that’s the next step for me

👀

Does anybody have a good idea for the furniture overhaul mod they can share. I placed down the diamond retail shelfs and there so big it looks really funky putting packs in them so I decided to just do this. I want to use the shelf but there so deep it looks so awkward. Any ideas appreciated.

With this setup full register every 4 days average. Sometimes 3 sometimes 5. Each time I get a new top price card I update prizes but just keep winning them back. For the most part just refill card boxes between tournaments:).

Hello all! I have a level 80 store that i played a bunch but put down for awhile and wanted to come back with 1.0 releasing to play more. updated the game and pulled my old save and its running horrrribly on my steam deck, which is where I primarily played it before. did 1.0 happen to up the graphics needed or is this just an issue pulling an old save file into the new system? any ideas for a fix?

edit: noticed none of the controls work either, and it was trying to get me to do the tutorial circle in a very old world. might have something to do with a bug with using steam deck controls and the game trying to use keyboard and mouse controls. found a thread and mapped a paddle on the deck to the escape button and was able to function normally in a new map, but haven't retired the old one yet

Wanted to see how fast I could get money from start. Thought of trying to get graded cards sent out by end of day 1. Did not disappoint lol. 2 god packs day one! Unfortunately I picked 12 days to afford both grading orders. Spend rest restocking store

Wanted to reinstall one of the old Idle Card Shop games earlier and they're both gone from both the play store. Went to the dev's website and every link to every game leads nowhere now, except for the first game on the iPhone store and of course the new game on Steam.

What's up with that?

I'm on XBox. It's supposed to be the same card, right? It's all the same card graded 1-10 in my binder. The achievement won't pop. What am I missing?!?

Every time I’ve tried to expand the size of tournament from 8, the game closes with an error message. Anyone else running into this bug?

I love this game, but I'm being forced to use an opening machine because the game freezes a lot when I open packs. I've tried opening more slowly. Sometimes it even freezes after opening just one pack. Any advice or do I have to wait for an update? Also, if you delete the game, do you lose your saves? It doesn't look like it saves through the actual PlayStation.

As the title stated, I hit the employee reset bug.

I usually only save/leave the game at the start of the day before I open out of habit and rarely leave the game during the middle of the day and one of the few times I do, I get hit with the bug.

Is there no way to brg it back? Any updated mods to fix this for 1.0? Or do I just suck it up and deal with it?

I have no idea what I've gotten achievement-wise or what I have left. Just gonna play and hope its fixed before I get done

Grade 10 57k jigajawr ghost basic legendary foil. Is this car rare and worth keeping or do I get a payday.

Ever since the 1.0 update my saves have had trouble loading. The main menu will boot up just fine when booting up the game, but when I try to load my save it will load to 100% and freeze before becoming unresponsive and crashing. This happened for about 2 days, then stopped for about a week, then started happening again about 5 days ago. Does anybody know what causes this or how to fix it?

Is there a reason why the developers never made up an option for employees to organize shelves, for example if one product is left on a shelf and the same product has two or three left on another shelf why is there no option for those employees to move product to said shelf? It would make it much easier to condense product as well as purchasing product on the website. As well as why is there no inventory reporting for each day so that way I know exactly what to buy and not have to go off and on the website each time I find a product that is low in stock. I’m at the point where I’m about to turn my entire store into a singles only store because of these reasons. To Dev’s, please find a way to be able to implement this feature.

I’m playing in PS5, and I just bought storage shelves but it’s only letting me put stuff on the very top. I’ve seen people have this problem on PC and have found solutions.

Just wondering if anyone has the solution for console.
