Also interesting note - did you know if the HOF gets a slabbed card as a donation, they immediately bust it out? Turns out that PSA does not meet archival preservation standards for the 21st century. Not because the slabs damage cards, but just because we don't know yet...100 year from now, will the cards that are slabbed PSA 10's remain perfect? Or will the plastic somehow decompose over a very long period of time and damage the card inside? So yes, the Hall apparently contributes to the inaccuracy of Pop reports:
