Their damages analysis is creative but speculative, and not likely to carry the day. They assert that they lost $4.5M from the cards they won in PWCC auctions, then allege that PWCC's conduct artificially and wrongfully inflated values throughout the hobby by over 40%, such that cards they won in other auctions were overpaid by another $9.2M. That's how they get to $13.7M. See paragraphs 48-51. Good luck with that.
Personally I thought the Complaint was rather meh and lacked some basic allegations on causation and malice, even if those can be inferred and later added through amendment. Still, it could be interesting to follow this, especially if affidavits/declarations are part of the record. I would expect Brent and spouse to be added if the matter continues, and will pony up some $$$ if it quietly settles.
