Naruto cards
The Naruto Collectible Card Game, published by Bandai from the mid-2000s, is out of print. Supply is therefore fixed, which completely changes the logic compared with a game still being published.
In short
Because the Naruto Collectible Card Game is no longer printed, its supply is fixed: no new copies will enter the market. That creates structural scarcity, but most cards in circulation were played by a young audience at the time of release and show significant corner and edge wear. Copies in excellent condition are therefore doubly rare, and that is what justifies grading on this segment — more so than on a game still in print.

What to check
The game was played by a young audience, often unsleeved. Soft corners and whitened edges are the norm, not the exception.
On a discontinued, sought-after game, reproductions circulate. The light test and print-pattern examination are essential before committing fees.
Mid-2000s holographic treatments age poorly: delamination, dulling and micro-scratches are common.
Demand exists but stays narrow. Confirm there is a market before paying to grade an obscure card.
