Plus, most all the original graders these TPGs first started out with have likely been replaced over the years by now, with newer, younger people as well.

Yes... I agree. Everything you said makes sense. I was just in a hurry to get out of the house, haha.
The person who graded the Joss probably left PSA years ago. Much of the grade you receive is based on which employee is randomly assigned to grade the card upon it's review. Add to that the assumption that the newest batch of graders is likely younger, and is more in tune with modern card standards (which doesn't exactly favor pre-war cards).
I enjoyed reading your well thought out post, and could not add much to it. But on a more general note, I would say to take the assigned grade with a grain of salt, as beauty is in the eye of
the beholder (not to be confused with
the holder 
).
