Is there anything you want to ask me about @ace_grading?
Trying to be more active on here but no inspiration this morning. I thought why not just ask 😅

tolerating always turns into resentment. at first, you call it patience, then love. but what it really is, is self abandonment. every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. eventually, the bill comes due.
So @ace_grading has officially passed the 1 million cards graded milestone. Insane!
The scariest part about this number is that it’s genuinely just the start, too. So much more to come.
