People should always collect what and how they want but I find these numbers ridiculous. Cut out the PSA Registry and IMO these cards won't bring half the amount they would today. I love high end cards, but the Registry is a drug for some people and I used to be caught up in that madness myself. The last 10's I bought were 1972 Topps hockey commons for less than $40 each. At that price point I'll still spring for the 10 even if 99% of the time they don't look any different than the 9's I have because I know the resale value will be there. On big dollar cards like the Eck and Payton, give me a nice 8 of each and I'll save 97% of that PSA 10 money for something else.

But like I said, collect what you want. Just as I look at people buying these high-end 10's as crazy, I'm sure there are people looking at me as crazy for buying slabbed cards at all.
