MikePugedaRegarding centering, although the PSA4 may have better centering top to bottom, the PSA5 has better centering side to side.
I'd take the 5 over the 4 any day of the week.
I assume Rob started this thread for us to discuss the reasons why a higher graded card sold for less than a lower graded copy (both being auctioned weeks apart). I think it's possible that what Adam mentioned might have some merit. Maybe the underbidder on the 5 wants to ensure he'll win the 4. Who knows, it's all speculation....and what does it really matter? We see auctions all the time for far less significant cards that make us shake our heads.
Edited to add: After checking the scans again, I think the 5 is centered to the top very similar to the way the 4 is centered to the bottom, and again side to side centering favors the 5. I'm just surprised some feel the centering on the 5 is so much worse than the 4.
