The moment you used the word "Market", you excluded the hobbyist.
Sure, we all would like a nice looking card, but to a collector, filling in an empty slot with a long sought after common card, is more important than how it looks.
The two mindsets are totally different.
The Marketeer = What will this grade fetch later?
The Collector = One step closer.
Do you have a poll for colectors?
