Thanks for the advice!

not sure how you would think there is innocence/honest when it comes to big money for cards. I not sure what other experiences you have had where there was innocence when it comes to big money, ie. politics, drug companies, etc..

I know it's a 9 but considering the plummet the 8 did recently, is anyone surprised by this?

No, I am not surprised a 9 is far tougher than 8. Do i think its high yes. But i am not surprised. When a correction occurs i expect most items to fall but still be considerably higher to higher than pre boom levels.

I know my experience in this game is not even in the same league as most on here, but in all honesty, I thought that was quite high, even for a 9, considering what the recent 8's settled for.

It sounds like there are 3 graded 10 PSA's out there, (at time of article) any idea how many 9's? (I don't know how to find the info?)

i dont think you can compare 8s with 9s......its not like comparing 3s with 4s or 4's with 5s...........really nothing to compare as the value grows exponentially from 8 to 9..

As the owner of a centered SGC 4 #311, I'm estatic to see this one at $42k...$50k with the buyers premium. Pretty nuts.
Admittedly that one is nicer but still happy to see that
