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.

For any particular year, I feel that there's a dividing line between "Hey, that card is really nice." and "Meh, I think I'll wait until a nicer one comes along." I can't imagine that I'd say "Meh" about ALL of the PSA 8's of a card from 1957--there are just too many "Wow" cards in 8 for me to spend an extra penny for a 9.
If I self-submit a card from that year, and it accidentally gets a 9, I'd probably sell it and buy an 8. For 1952 Topps, PSA 7's are fine. For 1948/9 Leaf, PSA 6's fit the bill...actually I have lots of 5's in my set that have nice eye appeal. For 1991 Topps Desert Shield, well, I might spend a few dollars more to get a 9, but I have plenty of 8's in my set that don't bother me one bit. |
