Brian this about sums it up. For many in this hobby the grade alone dictates the value of the card and not the card itself.
Somewhere along the way this whole grading game went ass backwards and many have been misled and suckered.

I think that would be a couple minutes after PSA offered their opinion on that first card...

I have seen "strong for the grade cards" sell for less than an inferior equivalent. I have seen PSA 6's sell for more than PSA 6.5's. Basically all pricing info gets thrown out the window. Pricing/Ebay is basically a crapshoot. The overpriced BIN's that sit in a sellers inventory for years on end is the only thing that stays the same.

Here is another perfect example -

1 - SGC 30 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGC-30-1911-...item484cff1d03

2 - SGC 40 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/A0334-T205-1...item3cb7cba134

these 2 cards arent even close the 30 is WAY better
