Which one is nicer?

I was at the National in Chicago and asked Dean F. why the starting bid on the PSA was at $25,000 and the starting bid on the SGC was at $10,000. I was interested because I have an SGC 7.5 of this card.
What he told me was that there are times when if REA wants to get a large collection from someone who requests a significant reserve on certain cards it will bend. This was the case here, as I understand it. To be clear, if I submitted JUST my SGC 7.5 to REA and asked for a larger than normal reserve on just the ONE card, REA would say NO is what Dean told me. It's all about the SIZE of the overall collection being submitted.

What's the difference, both amounts are trivial in the context of the value of the card and what it will sell for.

Something just looks "off" about the SGC8 card, my assumption is that bidders fill the same because that's huge difference in price between 8's.
