People who are buying PSA cards are either set builders or are just flat out sheep who don't realize their overpaying for lesser standards of grading.
The reason they draw a premium is for several reasons, none of which matter to me as long as the grade is accurate, standards are high, and consistency is there:
1. Publicly traded company on NASDAQ so more transparency in what the companies operations are. (Beckett and SGC are not)
2. American owned. (Beckett is not. SGC is as far as I know).
3. Coin Grading. (Shouldn't have anything to do with cards and their values, but apparently to some people it does.)
4. Set Registry. (Again, shouldn't matter unless you're a baseball card nerd, but apparently it does.)
