Despite Greg Morris imperfections, the good outweighs the bad and that's why so many buy from him and he gets the prices he does.

I can frequently find BIN's on cards in the same grade or even higher sitting there for less than Morris manages to sell the same card for.

Like Jenx34, I also played that game, numerous times, and eventually just stuck with GM because of that.
There are many factors. Choices being number one and the fact they are all in the same place. Shipping was no# 2, until their shipping fees, like numerous others, went up.
Maybe other cards outside of 52's are a different story, (I never bought lots) but for variety, shipping costs, selection, etc. I really enjoy the one stop hassle free, never having an issue, shopping.
