Rant: the used game booth at the flea market in Tulsa had a shoebox of loose DS carts and I dug through all of it

Stopped by the flea market off Admiral on Saturday morning and there was this older guy with a folding table covered in old games. Most of it was junk but he had a shoebox full of loose DS carts, no cases, no labels on half of them, just sharpie scribbles on the plastic. I sat there on a milk crate for like 40 minutes going through them and found a copy of Animal Crossing Wild World and a couple of the Professor Layton games mixed in with sports stuff. He wanted 3 dollars each and honestly I almost grabbed the whole box. The thing that got me was how many of them were clearly some kid's collection from like 2008, you could tell from the stickers and the little drawings inside the box lid. I only had 20 bucks on me so I picked 5 and left the rest, but now I keep thinking about the ones I passed on. Do you all mess with loose carts or do you only buy if it has the case? I keep going back and forth on whether it's worth the hassle.
