A good example of the absurdity/difference in pricing on eBay. Only a cool $25k difference for the same card.

Wow. That is crazy. I think it also has to do with greed. You run across greed from time to time in this hobby.
Sports cards forever is known for outrageous Buy It Now prices. Look at their listings and you will see. Their customer service is terrible too. The only negative feedback that I have left in the last 3 or so years was for them.
Can’t imagine paying that amount for either of those cards. I could only “potentially” pay that kind of money for a Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Jordan, etc.
As a person who has been in sales for my entire life, I can tell you that if you think you have something "special", price it high. The buyer with the cash who has been looking for that "special" card WILL buy it. Why not shoot for the stars? You can always drop the price if it doesn't sell.
To answer your question (assuming you really want to know) depends on your financial situation and your own taste/preferences.
Prices seem to be high on BOTH cards. 17 nines and no tens. I'm thinking the 60K one could bump to a 10? Drysdale, is he a good way to spend you money? You didn't ask, but I think a different player might be a wiser choice.
If money is no object, and you "need" a PSA9 Drysdale, make an offer on the higher priced card. If you are building a top rated set and not bothered by the "washed out" (scans CAN be deceiving) look of the cheaper one, make an offer on that one.
Here's another GREAT example of why there should be a 9.5.
Just buy both. Moneybags!
The real question is, how much would a PSA 10 cost? I think $20 million would be a fair price.
