Steve F Marshall, Firstly, some page breaks would've been thoughtful to us old guys with weak peepers. That is one Mt Everest of a paragraph!
You asked about resubs. and since this is a PSA bash, here is my experience.
I've cracked a few dozen SGCs, BVGs and GAIs and sent to PSA over the past 5yrs or so (No modern crap, but lower grade prewar). Almost all scored the same and just a small fraction rec'd a slight bump. Of course I carefully selected which I thought should bump.
I'm not sure IK buy the notion that the graders are bumping exclusively for the big shots. I know if it were myself as the middle-income grader with the loop... If anyone was getting preferential treatment, it would be the little armpit collector receiving the 'edge'.
