Just like the explosion of GM raw card breaks...many of these guys buying are getting them and submitting right away after they get the cards. The addiction to grading is real for dealers online...I know of several guys on facebook whom are sellers that go to all the shows purchase raw vintage lower and middle grade haggling for the lowest prices. When they get home they go right to grading for listing when arrived back on Facebook. It's wild to watch the churn of these cards.

I agree with what you are seeing. I don’t understand it either. Why would you buy a $20 card, grade for $15 more, and then try to sell for $50. Makes no business sense.
These guys should listen more to Warren buffet and less to YouTube card influencers.
