Valuations percentages

However, I am satisfied with many lower grades as well and was wondering what everyone thought the approximate values should be. So if pre war baseline is 6, what % should a 5 be of the 6 price? How about a 4?

If 7 is the post war target, what percentage should a 6 or a 5 be?

I know the answers will not apply unilaterally due to the tremendous amount of variables, just looking for a reasonable assumption.

I asked a similar question not that long ago but received no replies.

I think, for the most part, it is a moving target and is therefore hard to put an exact number/% on.

I noticed tonight this "8" Mays card and another copy in a "6". The "8" sold for 10X what the 6 did so is a Mays 7 only 5X?

Really, for 1950s-70s Topps, it's an exponential increase as you move up towards 10.

Say a card is a $1 1956 common, raw. Maybe something like this:

PSA 1: $1
PSA 2: $2
PSA 3: $3
PSA 4: $5
PSA 5: $8
PSA 6: $12
PSA 7: $20
PSA 8: $35
PSA 9: $75
PSA 10: $250

Is that what you're looking for? 1933 Goudey would probably be the same way, but all the values would be 5x since a common is $5 raw at least?

This looks reasonable at least in a general sense.
