Don't you understand that in a few years they will change their flips again (or add .25 scale) and then encourage people to keep re-holdering their collection "to keep up with" current grading standards? How people fall for that is beyond me. SGC does the same thing, and it boggles my mind.

But, in this case, what you're saying, is PSA grabbed a significant market share over the past two decades based on over-grading. So don't trust PSA, unless there is a hologram on the flip. Maybe if you look closely at the hologram, it says: "PSA: This Time We've Tightened Our Grading Screws."

EDITED TO ADD:

Also, I just compared what I collect -- both PSA 5 and SGC 60 T206 cards -- on ebay. I see no evidence that PSA 5 T206s are doing better than SGC 60 T206s at market. See for yourself here:
