I'll step out on a limb, and assume you mean you saw the price in PSA's Sports Market Report (SMR) magazine. As crazy as it may sound, some cards that are graded do go for a lot more than a nearly identical card that hasn't been graded. Just how much difference will depend on the card. Generally on the newer cards, it takes a card being a PSA10 grade to make that kind of difference. However, on the older cards that's not unusual at all. There's just a much bigger collector group for graded cards than the ungraded cards. So many people are trying to put together sets that will garner a higher number on the registry and they are willing to pay the price for higher graded cards to boost their set's registry number.
