I'm not accusing any third-party grader of any misconduct, or doing what I'm about to explain. This is just my unsupported personal opinion.
What makes more business sense - to under or over grade? If a card is under graded (or perceived to be), there is a chance the company will get another bite of the financial apple. The reason is either the owner or a subsequent buyer may crack the card and re-submit it for grading. This produces another grading fee for the same card.
However, who, other than a fool, would submit an over graded (or perceived to be) card for resubmission? This doesn't create the opportunity for potentially more fees from the same card.
