Why people will pay huge multipliers more for a card that has been signed off on by this incompetent firm will never make any logical sense. The authority need not be competent, there just must be an authority, and even if people know that authority is incompetent, they will continue to buy in and participate on account of that appeal.
That's the genius of it. The flip has become the commodity. And in a world where the overwhelming majority of sales are now not in person, all the more power it's taken on.
