Have you ever thought about how much money goes into 1 card?
A $100 card sale has a ton of money distributed that doesn’t stay within the hobby.
$19 to PSA
$13.65 to eBay
$5 to USPS, plus shipping costs to grade the card
$7 to local state sales tax
$1 for shipping supplies
$4.49 original pack purchase, assuming you pulled this hit
It’s so difficult to see how a boom is maintained for this long when so much money is completely pulled out.
