Labels are commodities quite independent of the cards. It has nothing to do with the card, really, because outside of the holder, tossed in with a bunch of very strong 9s, I doubt you could tell the difference or pick out the 10, even with a loupe.

A grader at PSA could make HUGE $$$ pretty easily I suspect.

Those labels mint money, so you really do have to wonder exactly what is going on.

I'm certain there is a cottage industry of people who do nothing more than submit hundreds of 9's with the hope of getting back a few 10's. Some probably make a high five-figure, or even a six-figure income doing nothing more than looking for nice 9's to resubmit. Like I said, the TPG's are minting money. And where else can you buy something for $400, resubmit it, and if it bumps to a 10 get back a commodity worth 30K? The only thing I can find even remotely comparable is buying a lottery ticket, and hitting a jackpot.

Barry, there was a comparable of sorts in the 1980's and early 90's in the first edition modern literature bookcollecting world as it pertained to mint condition dust jackets. First books by modern authors were selling for more than nice Fitzgerald or Steinbecks. When the bubble burst the ensuing sell off resulted in what booksellers describe as a race to the bottom. (yes, a few will still hold up, a vast majority did not).

An egotist and his money are soon parted.
