I wonder what the business strategy is of grading cards tougher. One thing I think is that encourages reslabbing. I doubt this was on PSA�s mind when they toughened their standards but I�m more inclined to reslab some of my old flips now. The thing is that most people can recognize the old flips that start with 0 or 1 but there are some less ambiguous flips that start with 3, 4 and 5 I think. I might actually send in some of my nice yazzes and my high grade minis. Up til now it didn�t seem worth the trouble.

I suppose that real reason is they want their cards to be worth more than SGC and the others at the assigned grade. It helps make them the standard but with the acquisition of SGC they have no rival in vintage now. I do think for a while SGC was as tough on vintage as PSA but I doubt that�s the case these days.
