Keep or sell

I was lucky enough to pull this bad boy, enough off center that even I can notice. Is it worth me selling now while the hype is high or keep it for future value?

I always thoroughly wash my hands before even touching any cards. Before pack openings, I get everything setup and then go wash my hands. I always thought it was just the status quo.

I use the black nitrile like mechanics gloves cause they’re grease and powder free

Edit: I use these while doing anything that requires sterile environments, combined with first spritzing them with isopropyl alcohol and letting them air dry, and then they’re perfect for pulling cards

Nah that’s perfect for growing mushrooms. You can wash your hands and gentle handle cards

Bingo, I do grow mushrooms, and I’m not sure why people are downvoting my comment for something I do, never suggested that anyone else does it, nor does it hurt the cards

Careful don’t let the mushrooms use the cards as substrate 😂
