Maybe on higher end examples there is a selling correction is taking place, but lower end copies seem to be selling for as much if not more than they were this past summer. A PSA 1.5 sold a few weeks ago for $14.5k via PWCC.

Lately, the SGC examples have been selling for less than their PSA counterparts.....very recently two SGC 2.5s sold for $14k and less. Perhaps the correction is only on SGC copies and not PSA copies....maybe it is time to buy SGC and send to PSA.

On the lower end the prices seem to have more to do with the cards presentation than the grade.

For sure, I agree....a few of the SGC cards that recently ended on ebay suffered from poor centering, however, one of the SGC 2.5s (sans a light stain) appeared sharp and the SGCs from the Goodwin auction seemed to present strongly, but all fell short of other similar graded, sharp looking PSA copies.
