It is a situation thats been discussed frequently on blowout and other forums.
Aside from the high costs, as already mentioned, it just isn't worth submitting a common card that would've been a 10 in 2019 or earlier and getting a 7 or 8. If the standards had remained reliable, the cost would be an acceptable issue for me.

This is god’s honest truth.
It has become near impossible to find common 10s and more impossible to submit one. As a Lance Parrish collector I can only wait for set breaks to get an addition or upgrade and he is a semi star to many. Getting a super common is a needle in a haystack.
This is why these cards in 10 are often ridiculously priced and even auctioned they go for a ton. A 1982 Topps Parrish sold for 545 in auction format the other day (glad I have mine). A 1979 Parrish can’t be touched under 2k. The prices for these cards because of grading costs has blown up.
