A mint 9 on a 1952 Topps does not mean they are getting easier. Ever hear of the Rosen 1952 Topps find or the fact that unopened 1952 packs were not the toughest thing in the world in the late 80's thru mid 90's (not saying they were easy, but they existed)(Usually low or mid series). There are mint 1952 Topps out there that were never graded. Also one example really does not sway an argument that they are not being tougher. I have submitted about a thousand cards this year, how many have you? I also speak to many of the major dealers, I am friends with for over 25 years, and they echo my sentiments. You can believe what you want based on them grading one card a mint 9 but you would be wrong.
