Anyone else notice this? Personally, I would want the cash if I was a dealer, but to each his own. I wonder if this trend will continue in 2023/2024.

If dealer is parting with a $10,000 T206 card of Ty Cobb, asking for $13,000 worth of cards seems reasonable to me. Same applies to Matty, Ruth, and so on. After all, that's top-tier material. I'd also expect the dealer to be picky with what they'd take in trade. No shimmer rainbow Zebra foils of a draft pick who has never played a professional game.
Now, if they say, "this card is worth $1,000...I'll give you $750 in trade for it" and so on...then pull the $13,000 in trade for this $10,000 card thing, that seems like an issue. In that case, they're taking their cut twice. No bueno, in my opinion.
