It's an indication a card is interesting to some people but not an indication that a card will ultimately sell.
Thanks for the explanation.

Understood, but it does make me question why factory cut, off centre cards are graded for much less, as they are also factory cut, but I assume they those are more common than a rough edge/border?

Appreciate the info.
