Hagar HendersonOK, I just don't see why there is such a huge jump in price from one grade to the next. For a hypothetical example, sometimes I'll see a card graded a "5" for $100. However the same card graded a "6" selling for $250! Is that one point increase really worth that much difference in price? We all know that grading is subjective and there's a lot of inconsistency in grading. Most 5's could be 6's if graded by a different person or graded by the same person on a different day. If the condition of the card is that close, where is the logic in the prices being exponentially higher?
For the record, if I buy a graded card, I usually go with a middle grade. There seems to be the best value. You get good eye appeal with 4's through 6's without paying insane prices in most cases.
Anyway, can someone explain a card that's graded one point higher than another identical card costing more than double?
