Argument for why Tobacco insert cards cannot realistically be Grades of 8 or 9

There is at least one other option -- have you seen the Hall cards being auctioned in Heritage? Many of the high-grade Hall cards do not deserve an 8, and I will bet dimes to dollars that anyone else would have gotten 5's, 6's and 7's on many of his 8's. Also, grading standards have changed over the years, meaning many high grade cards sit in graded-flips they could not obtain today/under a different standard. In other words, not all 8's and 9's are equal, and likely many on the pop report do not deserve their grade.

Hi Ryan

What you are suggesting regarding Hall's collection was not always true.

I've sold David quite a number of T206's these past years. Many of them ungraded, and at least 40 of them graded.
The majority of the graded cards were SGC graded. Of course, he had these SGC's regraded to PSA cards. Well, not
all of these were PSA graded with the same grade SGC initially graded them. Many of them received a lower grade.
The most notable one is this Herzog / UZIT (1 of 1), which PSA graded it VG.
