Second question, if you are submitting simply to upgrade a slab - i.e. old PSA slab to new PSA slab - will they honor the old grade, even if they woul hammer the card by today's standard if submitting as raw?

The previous comments are right on, but I would add one thing. PSA seems to be exceedingly tough on crossovers - almost like they want to prove they have tougher grading standards. I have submitted a handful of crossovers, and only once did it not come back with a lower grade (and that was a 19th century card graded as a 2). One of them was so obviously undergraded that I cracked it out and resubmitted it raw, and it came back a point and a half higher. I would definitely suggest cracking them yourself and submitting raw if the grade matters to you.
