Grading
More of a question than a reply...
I am newly back to collecting after 20 years off, so all the professionally graded stuff felt new to me. When I thought about maybe getting a card or two graded, I realized I could buy a decent card I wanted for the same money it wuold take to grade a card, so I opted for the former. Would be different if I had some really high end stuff and was hoping to sell it.
But here's my question...
Not just sometimes but OFTEN I see PSA graded cards on eBay where I'm thinking someone spent $10 to grade a card worth $2. For example, maybe a 1979 Topps J.R. Richard Record Breaker graded as PSA 4. What's going on there? Do they simply have an "in" with PSA to get their stuff graded dirt cheap or were they perhaps just hopeful of a much higher grade.
Thanks!
