I've always done a mental 66% total when looking at the pops. to allow for cracking out/resubmisissions and crossovers. I think with PSA you can also throw out any cards that fall under the qualifier catagory, as they over grade the card by at least 1-3 tiers. An st qualified card should probably never grade higher than a 5-6, an mk no higher than a 4-5, and oc no better than a 7. Overall, real numbers are probably closer to 50% of those stated for high graded cards by the grading companies - if a true and fair analysis were done.

Having said that, all this means is that collectors of such material actually hold an even MORE important cache of top condition cards that is probably UNDERVALUED because actual rarity and scarcity are not actually represented.
