Certainly the pop reports of PSA, SGC, and GAI are all skewed because of crossovers and resubmittals. I used to own an SGC 88 E93 Chase that I crossed to a PSA 8 because the rest of my set is in PSA holders. But the SGC pop report still lists a Chase in an 88. One thing we know is that there are no more than the stated amounts. For example if the PSA pop report says there are 2 PSA 8s of some card and SGC says they have one and GAI none, then we know that the maximum number of graded nm/mt examples of that card are 3. There may only be one that was first sumbitted to PSA, the crossed to SGC by another owner, then crossed back to PSA by yet another owner. BUt if no crossovers took place, the max is 3 currently graded at that level.
