You have to think of their client base, it will be ultra modern and likely nothing but.

I also see this making no waves or even ripples in the hobby, much like the discussion on StockX inclusion which has been a non-factor. StockX monetized PSA grades and not cards which predictably is not succeeding well and has been become a dump off for flawed and over graded cards as no scans are shown. You simply buy a card in the grade sight unseen.

Sellers know they can send their 8's to stockx that are 90-10 centered and would sell for less because the buyer is getting just the grade they paid for and nothing else. The same group will be dumping their lower graded 7-8 modern cards because of no qualifiers to an unknowledgeable Game Stop employee for sales on a likely blind website as well.

These selling methods of using a grade and not a visible card as commodity is the poorest thought out idea on earth.
