E, DanielI've actually always thought that differences between a PSA8 and PSA9 were less significant than a 9 & 10......10's have always looked pretty clean to me and rarely stood out with a flaw I would have thought should hold it back to a 9, save perhaps centering.
But Jason Duncan's excellent observation in reference to an SGC88 I think is really interesting...current pop. report at SGC show only 2 88's, nothing higher.
I would take an SGC96 any day at that kind of dosh over the PSA, and I'm thinking with the current improvement in SGC prices one would sell at a 15-20% premium over a PSA9.
Now that would be one pretty card if it managed to get into an SGC holder.
