Are all PSA 5s equally valued?

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.

Spend some time here browsing threads about how inconsistent grading can be and I think you will answer your own question. Smarter collectors are looking carefully beyond the number because they know it is hardly an exact science kind of thing.
