I'm also assuming the bidding agent idea, as Steve said. If they paid 4.4mil to add one item to their inventory, then wow.

Can you imagine the stress for a grader between labeling a top rookie card a 9 vs a 10 ? In each case the value can be over 100k. A lot of room for fraud etc

I don't think there was too much stress. If they did have stress, they would just label any questionable "10" a "9." So the fact that you see plenty of weak 10's says to me that they're not spending too much time on the card. There probably definitely was stress in grading that Goodwin Plank, however, where SGC wrote a letter justifying their decision to give that card a number grade. For these PSA 10's however, the graders who gave the 10's probably never even imagined that these cards would go for such huge sums.
