Anyone else notice this? Personally, I would want the cash if I was a dealer, but to each his own. I wonder if this trend will continue in 2023/2024.

As long as the card you're "trading" has a similar premium above comps it could be a win-win

In almost three years on here, I have yet to complete a trade. The biggest roadblock I've found is that I don't have the breadth of collection that can accommodate people's "looking to trade for" wants, which are typically extremely narrow. I honestly don't even look at most "for trade" posts, because I know I won't have a "red Hindu of player X in an SGC 3.5" or whatever.
