I thought I read somewhere that in the PSA backlog there are something like 13,000 Jordan cards waiting to be graded.

The 840k Jordan RC was a real sale by a well known high end collector who posted proof of purchase on social media. He paid "more than it's worth" because he believed it to be one of the best, if not the best, 10s in existence. Sorta like a MBA Black or PWCC S. It's like BGS's black label super premium pricing. Some people care about that stuff. The market clearly does. So did this guy. It's not a fake sale.
There are 328 PSA 10s in existence, and probably half of those have early PSA flips and if cracked out today would get 9s. This is the 52 Mantle of basketball cards. They're not exactly super common. Not in high grade at least.
