IMO...I think it’s too easy to simply point to high profile instances and examples and scream conspiracy. The examples that you bring up and quote are obviously the high profile ones from either big sellers like Probstein, famous collections like the Young collection or even more famous cards such as the T206 Wagner that get discussed almost to nausea on boards. When cases like these get favorable grades or re-grades, it’s easy to point and yell and scream conspiracy because of the high public profile the seller, collection or card itself already have. But the fact is that the majority of PSA’s work never sees, or is never subject to the high levels of scrutiny that these examples are. If Fred Shmuck from Anytown, USA re-submits an 8 and gets it bumped to a 10 you most likely will never hear of it.
