Is it just that each new owner spends mega bucks for it, then locks it away in denial....afraid to have it examined for genuine authenticity? I cannot understand this. What are your thoughts?

I think that's exactly what happens. Not every collector is really a student of the hobby. Most of this board's members will never spend $38,000 on a single card. But the percentage of knowledgeable collectors here is much higher than in the real world.
If you currently owned that card, would you prefer to resell it or take your chances that PSA will make you whole if it's rebacked?
