The vanishing premium for a modern PSA 10

[anusinha]

Remember the good old days when a PSA 10 would get you a good 3-5x over the raw cost of a card? For the ultra modern stuff anyway, the older stuff always had a much larger premium. Feels like for the last couple years of releases, you barely get 2x over raw now. And for the new releases, the cost of the raw card drops so fast (feels like 50% a month), by the time you get the cards back from PSA, the Gems sell for the same as a raw when you pulled the card.

Definitely changes the math on the grading game, have to find very specific niches to take advantage of, especially in new stuff.
