Going by those definitions on their site, I've encountered many cards with harsh grades this year. Just an observation that might help manage expectations and thus potentially avoid disappointment. That card is outstanding for the grade and hits the eye like a much higher technical grade card. Must have been a fantastic feeling to get that baby for anything near the going rate for 2s. Congrats on an awesome piece.

If you submit for review, for example, a PSA 4.5 and it doesn't bump, how does that translate into PSA must be getting stricter? Seems to me that they are grading the same. Especially considering, that they may have already bumped the card a half grade already.
