Like I said I am new to this whole grading process and we was under the assumption that all PSA 5s would be treated equally but it is apparent that is completely wrong.
I've seen PSA 5s that look like a typical EX card and I've seen ones that looked NM, but might have some minor flaw like a small paper wrinkle on the back. I'd pay more for the nicer card, but at the same time I've had trouble getting any kind of premium for "high end" cards unless I really have time to wait. I'd say there is less variance in the condition with the higher grade cards. When you get into the PSA 8-10 range other than centering or some kind of microscopic flaw there's not a huge difference in most cases.
