I watched your video. First, its nice to put a face to the posts/avatar.
A few comments: (i) the Waddell is 100% trimmed. Its short and the right corners (top and bottom) indicate trimming (ii) I think the cards are very good looking, making the grades a little less relevant, especially in an SGC flip. SGC has no registry, and I think most people buying cards in SGC flips are more after the appeal than the grade. Thus, I dont think the value between the Young in a 3.5 is much different than the 4, and so I would not resubmit. (iii) I The Young looks a bit undergraded, especially compared to the Walsh, but overall I think the grades are pretty fair. Regarding the Johnson, it looks like it has a slight diamond cut, which could be the reason for the 3.5 instead of a 4+.
I totally agree that graders are much harsher today than years ago. This is annoying, not because of new submissions, but because cards in an old 6 slab would be in a 3-4 slab today. The lack of temporal consistency, across all graders, sucks
