Griffin's"Keep in mind that if a 7 ultimately gets bumped to an 8 it can often make that card 3-4 times more valuable."
I find it equally, if not more, disturbing that there are so many that will pay exponentially more for what is often an arbitrarily increased assessment of the card.
One recent example- recent realized prices of '38 Goudey Greenberg:
PSA 8 3657.78
PSA 9 24898.20
Given this scenario you could crack and resubmit the card 100 times and still have enough left over for a down payment on a house in many parts of the country. I could see maybe 50% more, but 6 times?
