# MLB The Show Market Tracker — 0.1.0

**Date:** 2026-03-28
**Version:** `0.1.0`
**Repo:** `cal/mlb-the-show-market-tracker` on Gitea
**Deploy method:** Local CLI tool — `cargo build --release` on workstation

## Release Summary

Initial release of `showflip`, a Rust CLI tool for scanning the MLB The Show 26 Community Market. Supports finding profitable card flips and identifying silver cards at target buy-order prices for the gold pack exchange program.

## Changes

### New Features

- **`scan` command** — Concurrent market scanner that finds profitable flip opportunities. Supports filters for rarity, team, position, budget, and sorting by profit/margin. Includes watch mode for repeated scans and optional Discord webhook alerts.
- **`exchange` command** — Scans for silver cards (OVR 77-79) priced within configurable buy-order gates for the gold pack exchange program. Tiers: 79 OVR (target 170/max 175), 78 OVR (target 140/max 145), 77 OVR (target 117/max 122). Groups results by OVR with color-coded target/OK status.
- **`detail` command** — Shows price history and recent sales for a specific card by name or UUID.
- **`meta` command** — Lists available series, brands, and sets for use as filter values.
- OVR-based price floor calculation for live and non-live series cards
- 10% Community Market tax built into all profit calculations
- Handles API price format inconsistencies (integers vs comma-formatted strings)
- HTTP client with 429 retry handling

## Deployment Notes

- No server deployment — runs locally via `cargo run -- <subcommand>`
- API is public at `https://mlb26.theshow.com/apis/` — no auth required
- No tests or CI configured yet
