PSA 9 Sold For: $19,120.00 Nov 6, 2014

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.

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?

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.

It is literally like hitting the lottery if you get the coveted "10". And it is a 100% subjective number given out by a for profit business. Nah, I am sure everything is fine. That's where I am putting my money...the next Rose in a 10 holder is all mine.

++. This is absolutely going on. If I had some high value important cards for bumps, I would never submit them myself, I'm just a newbie to PSA. I'd find the most influential submitter and give them a fee to submit them for me.

This is how our economy works. Those that have the relationships, carry the hammer. No different than our political parties.
