tough call to buy low pop commons

for a 1954 Topps card in PSA 8 is very low. There is and should be a significant premium applied to such a card. There is more than a half a person per state that would want that card in high grade.

right but 2500 disparity in a week?.....there are not many 5000 psa 8 cards last week on ebay that will sell for 2500 less a week later at open auction ....when cards are the same (not a centering difference etc)

Thanks for the insight! I have no idea of the market for regular issue cards or how many people are chasing high grade sets.

Hope you all have a great Christmas and get lots of nice cards.

just defended there being a premium. I think the second price is probably more in line. If you run enough stuff you occasionally get those auctions where neither guy seems to want to lose. Of course for me they seem to be fewer than some other guys.(OF Course I rarely Run Auctions Anymore)
