I'd have to say I agree. On these types of cards the higher grade will always bring a higher price. I do remember an example that was discussed on net54 of a very nice 51 mantle 4 outselling a rough 5 in the same auction. Maybe a year ago or so. But that is another card where I don't thing you'll ever see a 7 outsell an 8, or an 8 outsell a 9.

right plus we cant say a rose 7 that sold that sold now outsold a rose 7 last year...market changed..
basically when the money matters to middle class person is when the flip becomes more important....one exception the 'artwork' cards where any month can be a 100k plus or minus like a psa 3 versus 4 rookie ruth or wagner...there more to the card, who used to own it and other factors besides the flip....
but for 99% of the cards where the money matters the flip matters... i not see a 2.5 topps rookie mantle sell for 40k but i bet you there have been some lame 4.5s that have..
will i pay 100 bucks more on a psa 3 even though 4's go for 70...sure who cares about 30 bucks if love the card....if its over 4k...then i not going to make that decision so easily..
