Grade-mongers

Look, I know that variations on this topic have been beaten to the ground on this forum, but I couldnt help myself when I saw this sale on ebay the other day. The psa 2 on the right sold for $1500 and change. The card on the left is my sgc 20. I am not here to complain about the fact that mine somehow graded a 1 and the other is a 2. I am aware that grading and presentation are two different things. My chief complaint is that PEOPLE WILL PAY MORE FOR THAT CARD; that a collector will pay more for the 2 than the 1 is absolutely ridiculous to me. I get that grades affect the price, but when there are two ultra low grade 100 year old cards like this, and one is substantially nicer than the other, shouldn't the CARD carry more weight than the numeric grade? I have no evidence to back this rant since I have no clue what mine would sell for at auction, but something tells me it wouldnt be more than what this 2 got.
