I can imagine collectors in the future arguing about which software version was used to grade the card they are trying to buy. Maybe it might look something like this:
That is important and most certainly the software will change with time, however the current TPGs have changed their grading standards over time with no noted information on the flip. Other than the comment 'That is an old PSA slab and that card would never get that grade if re-subbed today.'
