I was browsing through the Goodwin auction and saw the PSA 10 T206 Pastorious(we had a thread about this card where most agreed it was too off center to justify its grade) bidding is over 17,000. The three PSA 9's are all just over 4,000. Now obviously there not going to close at these prices, but if this is any indication a psa 10 t206 is valued at many multiples more then a PSA 9? I find this astounding because if you were to place a T206 graded a 10 and another graded a 9 next to eachother without the slabs I bet we'd have about a 50% chance of guessing which is which. Also consider most dont feel this 10 even deserves it grade, but still people will pay multiples over what a mint 9 will sell for. This is the epitome of buying the holder and not the card. I understand the whole registry competition but this just seems ridiculous to me.
