Not sure if that's 100% true, simply because it seemed like they were running huge volumes of cards through their eBay auction service by 2017 and beyond. But maybe the initial success from all the doctoring helped to jumpstart the auction service?
I think there was certainly a point where the brand was strong enough that it would have done fine had Brent gone straight. And much of that growth was, to be fair, due to his creativity and hard work and vision.
