This, to me, is where the whole grading/sticker game goes haywire.

No matter which of the three cards one prefers, I cannot envision anyone thinking one of them is $50,000 better than the other two. It seems like insanity to me, shelling out so much more money-- for an arguably lesser card-- just because of what the sticker says.
I'm envisioning a hedge fund manager who lights his cigars with Franklins and paid a million more for his penthouse because it came with a parking space five feet longer than the next property.
