If you look around you see he has been doing it for a long time.

I could not find one card for Alomar that has not been tampered with.

Are you suggesting he is keeping the price lower or higher than it should actually be? It appears he owns at least one copy for every price entry entered. If someone owns 100 copies of a card, is there a limit to how many prices they can enter? 

Also, why is he always entering $0.25? Is it possible that is the price he is paying? The Sportslots minimum $0.18, with shipping would come out to approximately $0.25. Just some thoughts.

If the above is true he was probably trying to add a value to each card or he did pay that much individually. Either way since only the 5 most recent prices figure into our price calculation it's kind of a moot point.

I believe since he has literally hundreds of each of those two cards in his collection he very likely did actually pay that amount in these cases though I suppose only he knows.Seeing the profile name obviously Roberto is this members #1 guy. (And btw he was pretty darn good too)

Looks to me like he owns all of these and the prices are what he has them listed for individual sale, which factors into the pricing model of the site. I don't see any fixing here, but then again I'm not the smartest person in the forums. If you look at his collection he has lower graded cards priced lower than higher ones. I doubt very much he spent that on each individual card, but if he has it as his price he will sell it for and he actually owns them then I don't see any issue. 

I would agree it’s not likely he paid $0.25, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. If someone wanted to drop $25.00 on Sportslots to get 100 copies of a card (for whatever reason), I would not be surprised. Especially someone who collects a specific player.

I'll start by saying I'm no expert on this but I know if you are looking at collection summary and you click update pricing it will individually list every card in your collection. Possibly if someone had 100 of a card in their collection and did this and entered the price for all 100 it would show up this way? I may try it with 1 card to see what it does.

My result was inconclusive. I tried to do this for 1981 Topps baseball and antered in a price for each of the league leaders cards I have. Interestingly enough there was a default price entered in for each card in my collection but when I hit to save it I got an error. Maybe because I have a few thousand in total?
