No auction house should have any sway whatsoever in determining what grade a card should get or whether an autograph or piece of memorabilia should be deemed authentic. Once they exert even an ounce of pressure on the services the whole system becomes corrupt.

Hopefully we will one day reach the point where once an item is submitted it is completely in the jurisdiction of the examiner. Until we reach it the whole process is a big farce.
