It’s not even about the cards anymore. It’s the label and some cash $$$
Collectors have essentially made PSA the god of cards. Even if that happens to be a random guy or kid from So California.
It is indeed a strange form of alchemy -- take the same card, change what the flip says, and magically create 200K of value. David Hall certainly tapped into something didn't he?
