>>46483683i mean, you're welcome to speculate, but it's true. i used to pass on cards with even the most minor holofoil scratching (minor edgewear on the back i don't really care about as much).
not sure if this makes my claim more credible, but i bought the vast majority of my collection about two or three years ago when most near mint 1st ed cards were like 15 canadian funbux. if it helps you feel or
cope better, i wouldn't be willing or able to build a collection like this with the market as it is today. pic semi-related.
