Again, I could be way off on this, but I feel like that's the way it's trending.

That's an interesting conversation as well, but a little different than the issues we've been discussing here, in my opinion. I don't know that any cards have gotten AA grades because of soaking or corners being bent back.
I think AA cards are for the most part trimmed, re-colored or otherwise structurally altered.
I remember good looking AA cards used to sell above ugly PSA 1's and 2's, but I don't know if that has changed at all.
