This is true. There's some new money coming into the hobby and it's chasing after the grade on the holder.

That being said, the card in question is still extremely nice. PSA has increasingly tightened up their grading standards over the past several years. They've also done a considerable amount of work/advertising to promote their services and products. The current prices (this card; elsewhere) are no accident.

Nice card, WEAK 9.
Appears to be a newer holder.
Was this done before or after the tightening?
Tilt cut, fish eye right by Rose's name but nice corners.
It doesn't matter - they are not bidding on the card - just the number.

i would not grade it below an 8. Biggest "eyesore" to me is the slant/tilt. No card is perfect...the print blemishes mentioned are minor. And the corners are strong. Final grade would be an 8...IMHO.

To me, something else other than new money (which has been around for a while now) and PSA promotion accounts for the off the charts increase from a month ago. 35 to 135 and counting. Uh, OK, whatever. But I am just a cynic, not a staunch defender of the status quo.

+1
I agree with that cynic part of you Peter. And do not discount PSA promotion in this. Guaranteed this card will become a centerpiece of some new ad campaign for them. Bidding up this card can only help their corporate card grading image. And based on the flaws of a tiny piece of cardboard that I am reading about here, there was some PSA self interest in giving this card this grade.

And Pete just breaks 150K, as the top 2 bidders are no strangers to bid retractions. But no surprise!

I don't know which of these two scenarios is more absurd: PSA 9 Rose sells for $150k or that the same seller is offering up a 1986 Wilbur Marshall for $6k!!
