Often double comps, and for certain cards that are extremely difficult to find centered you can even see triple or quadruple comps for these grades. You get some big premiums for PSA 5s as well. But those premiums start to come down for 6s. Those usually get more like 1.5x comps than 2x. And it comes down further for 7s and 8s which get about 1.3x comps or so.

I think the multiples are probably higher for the top stars. For example, I would happily take all your centered 7 and 8 Mantles at 1.3 VCP.

Ya definitely. Most buyers won't pay big premiums for centered commons but they'll pay up for centered Mantles. That said, if you're patient, you'll usually find someone that will pay a big premium for centered commons as well. Those buyers are out there. There's just not nearly as many of them.
