not really, you need the cam card to verify it's ground properly when you degree it

How so?

Every spec possible is contained within that piece of steel. Degreeing it is nothing more than a means of measuring that.

Whether or not it's "what it's supposed to be" doesn't require a card enclosed.

Agreed. A cam card can be printed dishonestly. Degreeing and measuring with a degree wheel and dial indicator is the way to go.
