I certainly was not suggesting there was anything intentional. In fact quite the opposite. The graders' frame of reference has changed more dramatically in the last two years than in the 10 preceding years. Vintage has always made up a minority at least in volume of what is submitted.

I don't think Nat is in denial but I think he might not be aware. Or he simply many not care that the graders are applying a two grade deduction for vintage. PSA is a business for him and as a great businessman, you are not going to spend time and money fixing something which is not broken. I am sure vintage submissions are not down, materially, as a result of their harsh grading standards.

I think if the matter were brought to his attention in a non confrontational manner with lots of evidence there is a chance he would attempt to correct the issue.
