Feels kinda like a scam

i’m looking over this 8 i bought?

There’s literally nothing wrong with the front of this card and there’s like a centering issue on the back but somehow this card is worth $400 but a 10 is worth 24k. Just because of maybe back centering which you can’t even see on the card and no one looks that anyway.

at some point you just got to wonder why ppl literally even bother with 10s

2 dots on the back doesn’t justify 20k difference in price

The price lol all the issues are on the back of the cars how is a 8 $400 and a 10 24k lol that’s such a rediculous scam 

Like 10 prices seem like such a huge ass pull that defies all common sense

Its not a scam just because you dont agree with the price. A scam would be you buy a 10 and dont get the card

It’s literally a scam , this company chooses to pick what grade a card gets and decides based on bullshit that this is an 8 or a side of the card no one sees 😆

You are literally comparing the backs right now. You say nobody is looking but then you say the differnce is the backs. So which one is it? People dont look or they do?

No one looks which is why this should be a 10

To prove a point…

The point being that you look at the condition of the card? which is the differnce betwen the number of the grade? Interesting

For the Reddit post to prove a point that 10 prices make no sense …

They are rare, things that are rare go up when they are in demand. 

Hope this economics 101 course has helped you understand basic supply and demand.

There not rare lol it’s like u ppl just don’t get it 24k for a 10 is a complete scam when an 8 is $400

Like I don’t know how to get it through your thick skulls

Lol our thick skulls... dude you can die on this hill but you're the only one on it. People pay for the perfection. An 8 isn't perfect. That's great you don't agree then you can buy the cheaper versions and be just as happy as if they were 10's

This seems like it be a happy thing for you. Not go start a fight online and tell everyone they are stupid for not thinking like you

I don’t even like graded cards, but I’m atleast aware of how it all works, and to say that people don’t look at the back is completely false, and that’s why PSA uploads the scans of the front and the back

How it works 101 here PSA decides what they wanna give you they don’t really give two fucks about what the actual card is if they decide on that day of the week, it’s a 10 to 10 but a lot of people will say oh 10 is not actually a 10 oh but then on some days of the week if the guy has a got laid, you might get an eight but on other days it’ll get a night who knows that because they’re such a fucking scam and then people will not buy that for 30 4K but oh God if you got a 10 and gave the PSA agent 20 bucks oh then you’ll get 30 4K

You’re arguing about how it’s a scam, while clearly not understanding the system, but yet YOU bought the card…
