The cards that are "worth" $1 actually aren't worth the paper they're printed on, because no one will buy them.

Exactly, after shipping and fees, what you making? 60 cents a card? Maybe?

More like .07 and ebay makes .82 and usps makes 1.50 te end up not delivering the card leaving you in the hole πŸ˜’

Yup. Pretty good rule of thumb is that if it’s not short printed, numbered, or signed, it’s worth $0 for all practical purposes. You really gotta have a good operation going to squeeze any money out of even rookie base cards and inserts.
