I understand what you’re saying. I think it depends on how you interpret the question. On super low numbered/rare cards, unless it’s a 10, it doesn’t matter too much because like you said the card itself is what’s rare. Look at some 1/1’s, some are 7’s and 8’s and that doesn’t impact the value of the card at all, because the card itself is what’s more valuable. With any other card though, there will obviously be a premium on 10’s and that is always going to be inevitable. If you look at a base insert, refractors, silvers, etc, the print run is so high that there needs to be some discrepancy in price between a raw and PSA 10. If there were 1,000 of a certain card printed, and there’s only 25 10’s but 200 9’s, I think the 10 should hold a much higher premium. What it does is add another level of rarity to a card that might not be that rare in the first place. I think the less rare the card is, the more impact a 10 will have on the card
