What’s going on with Marucci?

That brings to mind the shirts that were in a few years ago where each panel/section was a different color. It looked to me like they just sewed together whatever scraps they had. That glove looks the same. I'd never buy one.

$120 (before tax and shipping) isn't a bad price assuming the claims that the scrap leather is supposed to be from their Captiol (PP/A2K tier) and Cypress (HOH/A2000 tier) series are true. Marucci has even stated the larger palm pieces were essentially wrinkled or creased blem leather. The Wildcard is essentially a blind bag blem purchase (and should be only approached as such). Some of the builds that I've seen people post have been nice while others have been awful (this rating is obviously solely based on what color combo preferences work according to my eye). But I found the majority as acceptable and consistent with the inconsistent.

The Wildcard is a great recommendation for people (except baseball pitchers due to color combo rules) on a budget as long as the above paragraph is understood by the buyer (particularly if they want something really unique). However, I don't think they're worth any resale price over $150 ($20-30 may be a fair markup for a previewed purchase which essentially covers shipping and the seller breaking even). But if a buyer really loves a particular combo for whatever reason, I suppose $180 would be my ceiling IMO.
