Great thought out post! One thing you failed to mention though is $$$

The $$$ spread between those grades can be great. But you are right

to most observers grades 8 thru 10 won't be noticed.

I have seen 9's that appear better then 10's and 8's that blow 9's away

(all from within the same set and in some cases the same card)

I recall one time a seller had two of the same cards up for sale,

one in a 9 the other a 10. I won the 9 and IMO it looked nicer then the 10!

And, because most were off bidding on the 10 I got the 9 for what I felt was 1/2

of what it could have gone for. As for the cards being discussed in this thread

$$$ was the underlying factor or money that the OP felt was being left on the table.
