Default Holy plastic, Batman! The power of the PSA registry in full display!
These two cards sold in the same venue (eBay), by the same seller, one minute apart, and were graded the same, so all variables should be equal here.

1959 Topps Bill Henry - PSA 10 - sold for $1,136

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-Topps-B...item51b01ccfd1

1959 Topps Bill Henry - SGC 98 (equal to PSA 10) - sold for $167

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-Topps-B...item51b01cd014

Both cards look equally nice - there might be a touch of a centering issue on the back of the SGC card, or it might be tilted a bit in the case. Either way, it looks like the PSA registry can drive a 7x price on the identical card!

Full disclosure: I purchased the SGC card.

Is it me or are they different cardstocks? The SGC appears much whiter on the back.

I'd almost rather have the Lionel Carter SGC for the extra money.

.
Couldn't agree more. I believe the new SGC Registry will go live in a week or 2. While it will be an improvement, it may be too late. PSA has a huge lead in this portion of the market.

Just brainless to me. I will never understand why someone would pay that much for a card like that.

Wow! Now I know why I see some guys regularly at shows pouring through dealers stacks of commons hoping to find a card they think will bag a 9 or 10. Not for me, but I can see the obvious allure.

I do that but I am not looking for 9's and 10's. Just nice cards. Nice pickup Scott.
