I agree with this also. I'd guess that for the top names, the pop reports are probably 5-10% higher than they should be due to crack/resubmit/crossovers. However, this would be counterbalances by roughly 10-15% of the same cards that are still raw in people's collections that have never been submitted before. Re-submitting now is much more expensive than in the past, so the risk/reward calculation is much different. Sure you can get a much higher price if your card grades higher, but there is also the chance that the grade could go down, and then you'd be much worse off.
