PSA 9 vs 10 -- challenge

[bk400]

I was going to do so, but the PSA 10s that I see are up for sale on eBay. And I don't want mess up someone's sale (noting that I am not suggesting that I am so arrogant as to suggest that my post could mess up someone's sale).

But to your point, BalticFox, I would post some examples if I thought it was gentlemanly.

While I generally agree there are 9s that are as good as or better than some 10s, and yours may well be one of them, it'll be difficult without comparing the cards in hand.

Your pics are pretty small, but even high-res scans can hide imperfections that can only be seen by tilting the card in a light or using a loupe.

From the pics provided, your card look beautiful! Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the polite and charitable response. I've attached the highest resolution photos (per the site's limits) I can for your honest view.

Recent grading experience has shown me that I can't tell a grade 6 from an 8 or 10

It is irrelevant that a 9 may be as nice as a 10. That doesn't make the 9 underpriced. The flip, not the card, is now the commodity. IMO this is critical to an understanding of the modern market.

Recent return from SGC. I thought the Yount would probably be a grade higher than the Brett, but certainly not this much disparity. And I used a 10x loupe to inspect the cards before submitting.
