Positive reinforcement rocks. And, positivity on eBay or any social web platform is more rare than a left-handed, transgendered, Mega-Millions-winning unicorn. But, it shouldn't take Chris Sale starting the first game of the 2018 World Series for the market to realize that this one pictured is a quality card.
I get some grief from people about the heights of my prices. 1st, it's America and I can conduct my business as I see fit within the laws of society and the rules of whatever platform on which I'm selling. 2nd, it works for my business model. 3rd, sports cards are a lot more fun when they are valuable. 4th, being brave enough to ask good money for good players like Kyle Freeland who can't get any love from a market still obsessed with Aaron Judge and not willing to admit that Mike Trout is just shy of being over-collected... that puts a big step forward towards a rational marketplace. Finally, high prices entice onlookers to start investing in sports cards or invest more in sports cards, which is very healthy for the hobby/industry as a whole.
