Honestly, I think the standards were still very subjective. A "3" could have a crease. But, you rarely find a newly-graded "3" with a crease. On the higher end, PSA seems to be grading 10s like BGS now. The old 10s are now dropping to 9s.
The most subjective piece is the half grades. There are no standards or guidelines on how these are assigned. I had a few recent subs that clearly highlight a major shift in their grading trends. I will write a specific post when I can get scans and assemble my thoughts.
