Psa grading and pricing

[ALR-bishop]

I do not hate graders or graded cards. I just prefer my cards ungraded. But, for me it is just a hobby. If it was an investment or part of my income or estate planning, getting cards graded would be probably be necessary at this point in time.

Graded cards have their place in the market. I like the ease of sale of a graded card, I like how some cards look in their holders, and it sure makes it easy for laypeople who have to sell cards--like all our heirs eventually--to know what they have and deal with it. Fake price data, however, is worthless and has no place in the market.

If they're comparing BCCG to PSA they're not getting it.

But psa 9 Younts while not exactly all that tough (currently 167 of them out there) They do sell for a bit.

Some actual results posted here by PSA
http://www.psacardfacts.com/CardDetail.aspx?item=35512

$428 to $607, the highest one and most recent in 2011.

So if it really should be a 9 they're not all that far off.

Of course, an 8 is just about as nice, and lots cheaper. And an nice "NM" one ungraded would be cheaper still.
