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.

I might - if it were possible to reliably tell what would be a PSA 8 from an online listing. But I don't think it is, and we're right back where we started
. So, like you, I've decided to basically only get those types of cards on the occasions that I can snag them for around PSA 4 prices. Sounds like we're on the same page.
