@AlphabetSoupchu asks
if a card is already beat up, is protecting it kind of pointless?
Jeff answers
I'd still protect a card I want to keep. Existing wear doesn't mean further damage is inevitable or harmless. A sleeve and appropriate storage can help preserve what remains, including the memories. @JustHereForPikachu's first pull matters for reasons a condition label can't capture.
