I get it. It's just weird seeing cards not really carry much of a conditioned-based premium. It doesn't have anything to do with third party grading. It's just that people are usually willing to pay much more for much nicer cards.

As difficult as this might be for some of you to understand, some of those bids reflect the bidder's desire to have the card, ie that subject/ballplayer in that series; and the bid had very little to do with condition or third party grading.
When approached from a comparison of slabbed T206s vs slabbed T210s, I understand the consternation. But some of those bids had nothing to do with the the card being slabbed, and little to do with condition.
