Default SGC grading standards

I have observed 2 things that I am wondering if others have seen.

Does it seem like SGC has upped its standards on mid grade card corners? There was a group of cards that looked like they were in holders one grade under what they should have been if graded before this new roll out they have been working on.

I forget where I saw the cards, but they were mid to higher grade HOF players.

The other strange thing is their banner on here toting a new price record increase of a whopping 100 dollars. Does this seem like a shift to fight off PSA and their falling card prices?

They seem to go hand in hand.

Since when? I graded a bunch of t205s at the 2015 National. I thought the grades were strict but fair and even a few of the HOFers I thought were under graded. I sent the cards that didn't meet my minimum grade of 5 to PSA. Most came back 4 or 4.5, but I got a few 5/5.5 and 1 6.

Overall, SGC and PSA seem to be getting stricter. But, it will always be one person's opinion.

PWCC and Heritage may not be the best yardstick for the rest of the hobby. I realize higher grade green Cobbs are getting rarer outside of AHs. But, both mentioned always seem to command premiums, regardless of TPG. They also get examples that are superior for the grade.

My post was not about the prices. The auction house is irrelevant. There is simply a large percentage of cards that would appear to be under graded compared to hundreds of other examples, maybe even a thousand.

They are all of a sudden showing up in bulk?
