I think it will be virtually impossible for a card to get downgraded because as we've said, only high end cards for the grade will be resubmitted. Let's say you have ten SGC 50's in your collection, you are only going to send in the two or three best ones for consideration. The ones even you think might be overgraded will never be seen again by a grader. Leon's E90-1 Young (above) is a perfect candidate as it is a very high end card within the range of VG-EX.
But what if someone sends in a group of high-end 80's, with a hope of getting some 82's, and the grader notices that one card is a hairline short and probably never should have gotten the numerical grade. Is he allowed to rectify the error, or are his hands tied? That's the issue for me. The chance of any collector sending in an SGC 50 with a surface crease is nil.
