I'm with Jeff on this one. IMHO, the population of true "8's" and "9's" is going to be very, very small, with perhaps some exceptions, such as 1915 Cracker Jack (available from the factory without first having been packaged in the product), but it will still appear to grow as the card alteration artists' methods continue to evolve. Their NMT-MT and better creations have and will continue to escape attention by the graders in a significant number of cases. I like to stick with significant cards (HOF'ers, and best of all, their rookie cards, when possible) that are rare in any grade. To me, eye appeal triumphs over technical grade insofar as really rare cards are concerned. My two cents!
Highest regards,
Larry
