I hear alot of nonsense like "people only buy the slab" and all that, but that is not completely true. Yes, the number on the slab has something to do with it, but the card still matters.

Example: A card I recently sold. A 1933 Goudey Heinie Manush PSA 8. SMR is $1250. PSA 8 cards of 1933 Goudey have been going for higher than SMR for the most part. I sold mine for $660. Why? Because it was a "low-end" PSA 8.

If people only bought the slab, I want to know where the rest of my $600 is? Obviously a lot of people still care about the card itself - to an extent.
