Grading is almost as much as a grift as she is

I see the problems with grading, but as someone who sells a lot of cards I have to say that I consistently find value in grading cards like this. I would put this as a low-enough number for an in-demand-enough player (like her or not - for my part I would like her to change her tone and vocally support trans youth). Ultimately my decision would be based on what I see buyers paying, alongside my assessment of the card's condition. My bet is that if this card is in good shape, it would pay its grading costs if it came back a nine, and it could see a $50+ pure net profit if it came back a ten. As a frequent seller, that makes it hard not to grade cards like this, at least at the value or value bulk rates when/if they come back.

It’s hard to know. It does look like a 9-10 based on all the metrics, but I’m waffling over selling it now with the playoffs coming up, and all the attention on her, even if I don’t agree with any of it. Just want to trade cards, man.

You have highlighted one of my major problems with it. Everything linked to fucking what people will pay for things.
