I just don't understand

My question is why would anyone pay anywhere close to that amount? I like to think that people that pay that kind of money at least are educated on grading. Is there just blind faith amongst the PSA collectors.

Is this card not trimmed? It certainly isn't a diamond cut. Is there any way a person could find out who submitted the card for grading? My guess is the dealer preferencal treatment was in full form here.

I know SGC has some flawed grades, but it seems like you can find at least one PSA card a week in the vintage section alone that is grossly over graded. I keep trying to find reasons to lean more towards PSA, but the only thing they have going for them is that they seem to sell for a higher price (right now) and nothing else.
