Nobody is arguing that people aren't paying more for highly centered cards. You're arguing a straw man against yourself. Anyone who's been collecting graded vintage for more than 6 months knows that highly centered examples sell for more. You don't need to convince anybody.
They may need to convince themselves if they are requiring external validation? I don't mean that pejoratively, I just don't understand the point really.
