That was a great and practical point that a card may be worth a lot in book value, but since most collectors won't be able to afford it it can be hard to find a buyer.
In past years, I not only never had trouble selling a grade poor 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth (as example), but I often got far more than book value for it. Why? Because lots of normal collectors want that card, but usually can't afford it. So when a low grade example comes up, then is their chance to finally get one and you get lots of interest/bidding.
