Default Condition sensitive pre-war card sets?

Posted By: PC

I think we need to distinguish between condition "sensitivity" and condition "rarity".

E98s are highly sensitive, more so than E92s.

While E92s are hard to find in high grade, and are condition "rarities", they are hard to find in high grade because they were beat on, not because they are prone to disintegrate. Compare E98s, which are both typically beat-up and prone to flaking (with the normal damage leading to progresive damage due to the cards' unusual sensitivity).

So, if sensitivity is the measure, the scale above needs to be revisited without giving effect to condition rarity.
