It all depends on the purpose of the purchase. If for collecting, it's stupid. If for resale, it may not be.

If you buy the 8 today, with the way key RCs are exponentially increasing in value, in a few weeks the 8 will be worth what the 9 is today. Plus, without the flip, it would be tough to tell which card is which.

I'm pretty much purchasing to collect so I'd go w/the 8 in this example. I can't see paying that much more just because it's a 9 (now that's just based upon the two you pictured). There are instances, like I said just for collecting purposes, that I'd pay a premium just because the card is just that much nicer.

You could ask the same question of any high grade high end card as most have big jumps from one grade to the next. Would you rather have 5 nice PSA 7 55 Clementes or 1 PSA 8? Or a nice 7 and 100k to spend on something else? You can usually find a 1960 topps Yaz PSA 8 for 1200 or so. A 9 is sitting at 30k on Goodwin.
It's not that the 9 is 5 or 25 times better it's that it's that much rarer. Investors and high end collectors are after the flips and top registry spots. These type of cards have proven to be pretty good investments over the last few years and demand appears far greater than the supply.

 . Maybe the guy buying the 9 is doing it solely for resale and it is a wise investment. While the person with the 8 is among a lot more competition and might not do as well on resale. And if trying to have the highest graded set matters then the 9 is way better. (exponentially, I am sure)
