I know more than one millionaire in the hobby that specifically make a point of avoiding anything over PSA 8, unless it comes from their personal raw submissions.
I know quite a few extremely rich hobbyists that have numerous cards below PSA 8. For many pre-war issues -- owning an example of a card is something extraordinary -- owning a high-grade example is almost unheard of. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of pre-war cards that simply do not exist unaltered in high-grade. They are nonetheless very valuable and much sought-after.
