I'm not. I don't collect higher end cards anymore. I am replacing mine with lower grade cards (mostly raw) and pocketing the difference. I also do not participate in auctions for those cards except on a lowball bidding basis. I look for BINs. Postwar mainstream cards are not rare, so there is no point in chasing after a specific card. I wait until I see something I like in my price range. No FOMO for me.
As for being able to spot a PSA 6-7-8, if you want a PSA 8, then buy one at the commensurate PSA grade price.
