How would this prevent scalping?
Well, a scalper's business model relies on buying early, then selling to people who are willing to pay more that the scalper paid.
But people who were willing to pay more than the scalper paid would've already bought the card before the scalper did.
And people who didn't buy the card are the ones who were holding out for a lower price, so they won't buy from the scalper anyway*
Therefore, the scalper is stuck with unsellable inventory
*if they're rational
