I guess this is where my relative lack of experience since I got back in to card collecting is apparent. There were a handful of BIN PSA 8s going for around 120 concurrently, including this one that I ended up buying...to my eye, the centering is almost as good as the one that went for $226....maybe a little less nice on the top edge and the left....but pretty good overall.

And honestly, I am just trying to understand and re-educate myself here, definitely not trying to allege any shilling or anything of the sort. Truly just trying to understand the marketplace a little bit more. I guess in this hobby, the eye of the beholder and what his wallet is willing to give up drive price as much as anything. Thanks guys!
