>>9014807It deter/fucks over scalpers trying to flip it for a quick sleazy buck, while helping the item stay on the shelf longer for a legit fan to find. A legit fan will be bummed that the card is bent, but will still be grateful to have found it.
A degenerate scalper will see the damage, and will only think about how the bent card will cut into his profit margin and is more likely to leave it behind. You're welcome, bros.
