John SI also have been very suspicious of all the high grade cards that have surfaced over the last five years. I believe that steam, stretch, and trim have a lot to do with that. A NRMT T206 from 1989 would probably equate to and EX today. I know that grading standards have tightened since the late 80's and early 90's, but all these high grade cards (and I am sure that a few legit ones exist) could not be found. I remember going through countless binder pages and stacks of t206's and buying the best examples of commons that I could find about fifteen years ago. I recently had a couple graded....SGC 60.
