Yes, the PSA/CU board has been posted very high prices for clean centered mid grade cards that look like 8s and how they're probably 50-60% higher than VCP average for the grade. Not just to bump, but because some of the new money prefers well-centered cards over just the grade on the flip.

Until tonight I didn't know that a card in an SGC 20 holder is considered "high end." So, yes, I think the OP's premise is a sound one.

this concept is not new...people respond to and buy into puffery...which is what this is.
I mean how long have people around here been saying "buy the card" not the holder?! Last edited by ullmandds; 06-10-2015 at 07:17 PM. |

I think any grade can be high end but a high end 10 sounds kind of silly to me. And to answer your question, Yes, I think folks are being pickier and willing to pay for quality collectibles. It seems some of the lesser items have fallen but not the really nice ones. That is my perspective, but I have always tried to go for eye appeal over technical grade. (at least in the Luckey Collection I)...and I should note that it's not like I shopped around for this card.......but generally do try for decent eye appeal.
