Condition now more important than character or cardback?

[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 545238, member: 2"] I was watching a Facebook sale of a load of MOCs earlier today, and I was surprised to see that the main driver of both price and desirability seemed to be condition above all else. Mint condition ROTJ cards of unpopular characters were selling higher, and faster, than earlier ESB cards and more desirable characters. Grading has been around for a long time now so it's not news to say that condition is important and effects value, but I was quite shocked to see some ESB cards being snubbed because of edge wear, dented bubbles or litho tears. In my head an ESB character on an average condition card is more valuable and desirable than a Jabba goon on a nice Jedi card, but apparently the tides have turned. [/QUOTE]
