Let's not forget that making it only for cards from 1996 and newer means the actual grading aspect of the process will be as simple as possible.

I obviously have no data to back this up, but my guess would be that way over 90% of the cards submitted will come back 8s, 9s and 10s. Modern card collectors would remove any 'money' cards from packs and immediately put them right into toploaders, keeping them untouched and pristine for the ages. Wear? What wear? We don't need no stinkin' wear!!!

It's free money for the grading behemoth. Just put every card in a PSA 10 slab and be done with it. Ka-ching!!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
