Most of the grading card business now comes from TCG doesn't it?

It is not a unitary market. A 1983 Fleer is way different than a 1996 pinnacle is way different than a 2020 panini. I’ve been doing well selling 1980-1998 cards on eBay.

Regarding the 1980-1998 cards. Are these base cards such as 1983 topps or 1997 topps? Thanks
