As a side note for more anecdotal “proof”, one of our submitters cracked three 1984 Donruss Mattinglys all PSA 9. He believed they could come back as Gem 10s. They came back as 7, 7 and 8.

Unless they can rely on a certain percentage of 10s, people who submit large volumes of very modern cards may rethink things if their gem rates become substantially less. Maybe that's what Nat Turner wants, to become a lower volume higher dollar per card company?
