Now, you can find slabbed PSA 8s of this card for over 100$ less. What explains this phenomenon? I personally believe, just as people buy clearly fake cards on the off chance 1/100 is legit, they are buying these in hopes that it grades a 10? I don't know how you see a "10" from an ebay scan.
That's all I can think of but would love to hear thoughts.

Been going on awhile now--note my reference to a '66 common that sold raw for $115, about twice the price of a PSA 9 Mint at the time.
