This hobby is so stupid. And it doesn't only deal with graded cards but also bats. A PSA Rose Rookie card graded a 10 sells for $700,000 while a PSA 9 sold for $19,000. Guess what, they looked the same. But nope, lets spent 680,000 more for a 10.

Brock, I totally agree with you on the PSA grade from 10 to 9 and the ridiculous prices. I always thought the most stupid thing to buy was a baseball graded by PSA. Since baseballs tone over time and discolor, you could buy a PSA 10 and 2 years later the ball has brown spots so the guy that bought it lists it as a PSA 10 which it clearly is not so it's like false advertisment and then you get the idiot buying it cause it is a 10. Makes no sense buying a graded baseball but people do because they they are obsessed with a number.

Where do you think you can get a PSA 9 Mint 1963 Topps Pete Rose rookie for $19,000????

The PSA 7 Cobb Green sold for $71,700.
The PSA 5.5 sold for $26,300.

A PSA 6 Cobb Green sold for $19,000 a couple months ago.

And there was an SGC 5 in Huggins and Scott last month that went for $8,000. One month later, and this one is starting to look like a bargain.

That explains it.. lol

Either way, still a huge difference between 717K and 191K for two cards that look alike.

[Dpeck100]

It doesn't matter if the two look alike. One says PSA 9 and one says PSA 10. There are obviously times when a 9 turns into a 10 but at the end of the day the card graded PSA 10 will always be king in price.

It is so simple. Humans are turned on by having what is deemed to be the best.

And the exact same card that is best today might not be tomorrow. A 10 can always be a 9 and vice versa, from what I have seen. And both can come back trimmed on the 3rd day and back to a 10 the next day. It's a great way to invest .

Twenty somethings minting money .....

The issue is the phrase "what is deemed" and how "humans" can be so easily lured into what one person's opinion may be.

I can only imagine the power a card grader must feel when s/he ultimately assigns a 10 to a piece of cardboard, turning it into a winning lottery ticket. Must be intoxicating - how could that fact alone not blur judgment?

[Snapolit1]

How about the possibility that the card was submitted by the guy down the hall who just bought it at auction and a bump will pay his kids college tuitions in one fell swoop, or it was submitted by a client you'd really like a lot more business from. Human nature suggests those possibilities as well.
