Wow, am I missing something? Looks like you can now only search your order history for 120 days on TCGplayer. Now I have no way of judging the appreciation of cards I have ordered in the past.

As a potential employer, I cannot emphasize enough how fast "AI proficient" on a job application would end that candidate's chances of an interview.

I just canceled my TCGplayer subscription because of their systematic attempts at union-busting and declining quality of service. By happy coincidence, the next monthly charge was scheduled for tomorrow.
