Take any A with a huge grain of salt. I heard a story recently of a family find of untouched '52s that the Mick and campy came back as As. Absolutely unaltered.
I've also had a friend submit a Ted Williams Liebig come back an A. Resubmit it and it came back a 7.
The kids working at these grading companies need a ton more experience. And the "Veteran" graders need to take a closer look at "A" cards in the final steps of the review process.
