I've heard in some cases, with very prominent cards if they do achieve a high grade, the submitter is notified and the declared value is pushed up.

That being said, they can't know every intricacy of each set, low pop commons, sp's etc. It is mainly with the high powered star cards that hit PSA 8 or higher. Again only what I've heard at the PSA booth so it's conjecture at best!

I do this regularly so the answer is maybe?
