JUST MY OPINION
To the contrary - I think this will put incredible upward price pressure on lower value cards (under $ ~$800 - anything already graded - is "worth" more overnight as the cost of grading the same card raw today just tripled. That could spill over into the raw market with people not wanting to pay the inflated prices for graded cards and create a spike in demand and likely spike in prices that hasn't been seen yet.

I am actively buying and selling vintage sports cards graded and raw. Feedback as a buyer: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297262

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
