The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questions are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Helpful Considerations may or may not help some people focus their answer, these are blurred to not bother those who have their own ideas.
I love the idea of trading $3 cards for vintage 1st edition commons and uncommons at card stores. It’s like a portal back to 2000s Books-A-Million on Pokemon Saturdays, except I get to trade all this modern bulk.
It’s not about the price for me, more about the guarantee of getting it for sure like @Ratequaza mentioned and about the card layout, an ultra rare might be worth cents but it anyway often feels more special than any regular layout card regardless if i need it or not
