What is the difference in price between the following:
PSA7 to PSA8 PSA8 to PSA9 I just get a kick out of perceived values of the labels. IMHO people place a higher value on those labels than the actual card itself.

Just another example of the arbitrariness inherent in grading. I will never understand the wide disparities in value at the higher grades.

Definitely looks oc to me...I've seen some not this bad with the qualifier. But I think this just shows how inconsistent TPG can be and we shouldn't be surprised when examples like this show up.

Tolerance for trimming
Just on the talk about the possible trimming....Whenever I buy an expensive card now I find myself hand-wringing and half convinced I have been ripped off if something seems a little amiss...is there any sort of standard tolerance PSA uses for mimimum size? I just got a PSA 8 65 Morgan that is nicely centered and otherwise sharp, but by my measurement about 1/64th of an inch shy of 2.5" top to bottom...then I notice the little imperfections in the slab...am I just being paranoid over this fractional length? Were vintage cards typically varying in size by these slight degrees?

Bob,
Thanks for posting the prices for the different grades on this card: PSA 7....$10.000 PSA 8...$23,500 PSA 9....$75,000 It absolutely blows my mind that someone would pay so much for a label that says PSA8 (or even 9) when you can't tell the difference between some of these cards and someone "subjectively" assigns these numbers.
