As illogical as this seems. There's no way the buyer bought this as an investment. He bought it for the love of the card, and as much as it hurts to say, the slab is currently a huge part of this card.. It is a beautiful card.
Anyone know what the other 3 psa 10's look like? This could be the best of the bunch.

That buyer might have bought it for the love of the card although a 9 would be a 10 on any given day, imo. That being said, I don't care if folks pay a million dollars for their PSA 11s, but I think it's more about being a half a point higher on the registry than it is about the card itself. As I say, I don't care if they want to play the registry game, I am sure it's fun, but I just don't think someone could get 19k more pleasure out of a 10 over a 9 on that card. The buyer probably swatted a friend from the top registry spot with it, and to him, that makes it all worth it....which in reality, is all that counts. Who cares if they collect for a different reason, more power to them!! (maybe I am wrong too, who knows?)
