What prices fetch should be irrelevant, if it's flawless, then it should be a 10 regardless of value, otherwise what's the point in having a 10 point scale if it's rarely used, or to only be used sparingly. 

Do you have any idea how incredibly rare a "flawless" comic or magazine can be? 

Years ago, when I worked as a journalist, I'd go back in the press room and hang out from time to time. I saw many things...

To make a long story short, there are many, many comics out there that wouldn't grade a 10.0 if they were immediately examined on the spot as they rolled off the press. 

The odds get even worse when factoring in handling, transit, and storage.
