Default Are all PSA 5s equally valued?

My son and I just got into the world of collecting graded cards, not so much because we prefer them but more because we thought valuing these cards would be easier.

We have been watching ebay auctions and the other day we subscribed to VCP. We were shocked at the range of prices for a particular card despite the fact that they are all equally graded by PSA. There seems to be almost as big of a gap for completed auctions as raw cards. The swing of prices even in the matter of a few weeks is astonishing.

My question is, is there more to valuation than just the grade? For example, can one 1964 Pete Rose PSA 5 be worth more than another with the exact same grade? I know about the qualifiers(MC,OC,etc) so I am not referring to that.
