Obviously higher grades don't always bring more money . Look what happened to Pup's T205 Johnson in an SGC84 holder. It's a great card but, for an 84, had a few visual issues...mainly the slant cut. That eye appeal kept the card to under 6k. I talked to a few people about it and they didn't go higher because of the visual appeal. The buyer bought the card and not the holder. That was the right thing to do but also cost some money vis a vis the holder it was in. And had that been a spectacular looking 7 it would have gone for right at 10k. Just my opinion. regards
