Users like @smpratte and @Dyl dissected the notion of “selective strictness,” digging into how perceived grading standards do or do not shift with high-dollar cards, sparking debate across community members (because hey, who doesn’t love a good grading jury?).

Showcasing Creative Expressions (fan-art, mega-thread, community): Community-driven threads like Your Beloved Dumb Silly Goofy Card Art Thread saw members parading the playful side of their collections.
