What skews these numbers so drastically is the enormous gap between say PSA 3 and PSA 8. If the gap were smaller, there would be more high grade collectors. But with a PSA 8 selling for perhaps 100x a PSA 3, it's going to decrease the pool of PSA 8 collectors. The reason that this tiny group spends so much money is: A)they have it, and B)that's what it will cost them to gain membership into the club. Again, if one guy spends $1 million and a thousand collectors spend $1000 each, each group is spending the same but the thousand collectors make up the backbone. That's how I see it.
