Are graded stamps still a growing interest and market?
Oh yes. I sold a stamp at auction (Siegel) a year or two ago, so I received a catalog of everything being sold at the auction. It was chock full of singles, giant blocks, and even entire sheets that had extreme emphasis on centering. Even some stamps that we would call "common" were in there for very high prices due to their centering. In fact, I would say the primary emphasis of that auction were these types of things.
I listened to the auction long before my stamp came up and I would describe the bidding on some of these items as having been "aggressive". I would go so far as to describe some of the hammer prices as shocking, to me.
