These guys should listen more to Warren buffet and less to YouTube card influencers.

Doing it once? Sure. As mentioned by theshowandme at scale that is a very legitimate business. Many thrive at smaller margins.

EDIT

Went to the show all week and the after show on Wednesday. Even on the first evening the place was ridiculous. I walked in about 5 feet and couldn't leave. Made my way through the crowd to a side door and left. Not for me. Even the crowd at the show was excessive. Makes me miss pre-covid National times where you could at least walk around and see the showcases. I'm younger than most and do enjoy the modern side of the hobby as well but my generation is not who I associate with. Modern for me is unique patches/autos of older players. So the video crew flipping Panini "case hits" is not for me either. Did feel like vintage was very well represented however.

Howard Chasser came on my channel to discuss the National, Howard had some great perspective from the dealer side of the table, check it out!
