Judge explains the investment theory: Supply is fixed (Pokmon isnt reprinting old cards), demand keeps growing (the nostalgic Millennial buyer pool isnt getting smaller), and conditions matter enormously (a professionally graded, pristine card can be worth 10 to 100 times more than the same card in rough shape)
But what Ill also be doing is overlaying the original asset with the proper colors over each card asset, albeit with holes cut out in various places which I can use to compare with: With the card that needs to be adjusted placed beneath the original asset, I can begin using each tool and eyeball how close they are, color wise
Well quickly run down why or why not they are keepers, and what lines of play we can see developing
This will help maintain their value, as condition is a big factor when it comes to pricing cards
By God, these little bits of cardboard are beautiful
