Default Graded means more valuable?

Posted By: Myron

What do you guys think about graded cards going for higher than market value?
Personally, I think it's ridiculous. To me, grading just assures the authenticity, not value of a card. For example, if a card is graded Ex by SGC and the market value for the card at Ex is $50, then I think the card should still sell for around $50. Why do people think the card is all of sudden more valuable just because it's graded? I'm really referring to what I see on E-Bay all the time. The only instance where I could understand a higher selling price is if the card is vintage and looks like it just came off the printing press.
