Is this a weak Blastoise PSA 10?

Wondering why this went for $500 less then what they typically do:

Would the back be considered weak due to some of the spots or did it just go for less for whatever reason?

There’s no one answer. Because it’s been auctioned multiple times, because it’s weak, because of saturation, because people were watching Game of Thrones when it ended. Who knows.

Looks like a 10.

There are many reasons why a card shouldn’t end at a price they end at. This case is probably due to demand I guess. If you put an expensive card on a 7 or 10 day auction with little to no publicity, it will end at a lower price than being patient with it. Some potential buyers look on eBay once a week, maybe even at a lower frequency than that. The longer a card is up on eBay, the more eyes that look at it.

Put that card at $4500 or even $5000 shipped Buy It Now for a few months and it should earn that price.

Dang. What a steal:(
