I don't really pay much attention to what high grade cards sell for. I love to look at them, but I don't collect them and don't follow the prices of ones that sell.
I stay in the VG to VG-EX range for many reasons- more affordable, you get more for your money, they are very presentable but still have enough "age" to look their age, and I can't see spending hundreds of dollars more on a card because it's a couple of grades higher. Just my take, but please you guys- stay focused on those high grade cards
Sincerely, Clayton
