I have an order of 1950's to 70's mid to higher grade cards on their way back to me right now from PSA and every single card is at least 1 grade lower (a couple are 2+ grades lower) than I've been accustomed to over the past 22 years. It seems to me that they take an even harsher grading approach to a card that is even slightly off-center.
Agree. Although I am new to grading, Modern cards I have had graded (2010-2022) are close to what I anticipated. Pre-war is generally 1-1.5 grades lower than expected.

Guess I am just a poor guesstimator at grades.
