That's a prime example of the registry and its power.

I agree, not a nice looking 10...

Are we seeing the down fall of the Registry??? Think about $400 plus for a PSA 9 at best. All that matters is what's on the flip.
PSA is smart I have twenty 80-81's that I' packing up now

<< <i>TRIAPD >>
Indeed.
<< <i>So how do you guys figure out what cards to grade? Do you reference pop reports prior to sending or do you just grade a bunch of commons regularly...What i'm getting at is it luck or planning. >>
I ask registry collectors what they'll pay, get ahold of that card raw, make a fake slip, use my slab-o-matic and make a gem minty 10 and sell it.
Duh, doesn't everyone do that?
<< <i>yes, but the first guy will always get to claim hugest cajones. >>
But in reality, the cajones have not grown in size at all. Another disturbing reality of chasing high dollar low pop commons.

<< <i>Guys with money like that don't care about the value going down. >>
Yep. I'm fairly certain that those who have read this thread have given more thought on the amount of money spent on that card than the actual purchaser.
<< <i>I just don't get these guys. When that card becomes a pop 2 and then 3, it'll be worth 1/2 and 1/3rd of what it just went for. >>
In some cases yes. In some cases no. It all depends. For example. There are popular psa 10 cards that I have bought for high$ and believe it or not 4 years later most are still pop 1. There are other popular pop 1 cards I have paid high $ on and 3 more came out and I have seen them sell for 2-4 times more then I paid. There are other semi popular pop 1 cards I paid high $ and now are worth much less. I really believe it depends on popularity of the card and the demand for the card.
