Modern High Grade Certified Coins - A False Floor

This has been the same for years on ebay.
one thing sells stupid cheap and the next seemingly identical one goes through the roof.
Things you want to look for IMHO ,pictures, starting price, pictures, description, pictures, reserve, and did I mention pictures.
I always use plenty of pictures front, back, side, top, bottom, and a few more after that.
I also describe the item sometimes to an absolute fault, but I get bids better than the standard, say, 1909 penny.(and left at that alone)
I never place a reserve on anything. (period, end of sentence)
I either start it at what I want or 99 cents. If you can't afford to let it go for the starting bid, it shouldn't be up. If I go into an auction and see a reserve, I automatically hit the back button and ignore the auction (that's just me though)
I don't think it would be a "false" bottom if some people would look into literally "selling" their piece a bit more than here it is bid on it

I think the registry sets have mad 70's more popular. I don't think most people would be able to tell the difference between a 69 or a 70 if they were able to inspect it.

I do not think that modern coins will ever be rare or even semi-rare, or even almost uncommon.

I have however purchased a few high grade certified modern coins. I am building a All Certified Coin Type set. I do not want to pay much for these high grade moderns. the last two I bought was a 1962 PF-67 Jefferson nickel PF-67 NGC and a 1961-D MS-65 Roosevelt dime ANACS. I paid $8.00 a piece. I do not think it is worth it to submit moderns for grading. It is a much better deal to buy them already graded At a fraction of the submission fee.
