So if you don't care about grading and it's just for personal collection, you shouldn't be worried about those 1-2 dollar cards on ebay being counterfeit. Generally they are that cheap more so for market saturation.

And I mean, honestly could I even tell the difference?

This makes sense because the majority of the cards I was searching were in that 89-95 era because that was my peak for collecting cards..

Great tips. I do agree that it feels a lot like gambling, and I was cringing watching these guys 'rip' packs on social media. It felt a lot like a gambler, only reporting the wins.. never hear about how much money it took to get there..
