Agree with Leon. PSA might be having a better week on the whole or something, but IMHO it's still overwhelmingly related to the subjective opinion of each grader, as evidenced by the fact that (still, today) you can send your vintage card in that you think should be a 7, it will get graded a 5, you will be unhappy and bust it out - and when you send it back it might get a 6, or it might get a 4. This happens a LOT, every single day, at PSA and SGC and everywhere else.
Also in my opinion, many collectors still just place waaaaay too much value on what they think grading is. It's just one grader's opinion on one day. It's not some final, end-all be-all pronouncement of your card's worth. Mostly, it's an opinion on a slip of paper and (usually) a nice holder. But yes - until folks accept the subjectivity aspect of the opinion - this btw is the TPG's bread and butter - I think that many will continue to misunderstand / be unhappy with their submissions and results. If you are one of these types and like slabs - best advice would probably be buy your stuff 3rd party already graded - and go after cards that look good to you in grades you will be happy with.

No, not even close. Consider yourself lucky! New 4s look like old 6s with barely a touch on the corners. Good time yo accumluate low priced graded cards with good eye appeal

 It is just the luck of the draw on graders. Amazing things can and do happen when you get the "right" grader. My recent experience is way different than most posting. They have been very generous in the grades I have received on my last four submissions. Even on a 3 card submission that I cracked out 3 freshly graded SGC slabs to get into PSA slabs. All 3 got a bump from PSA and 2 became their highest graded. On another one I resubmitted a card they wouldn't slab(altered/counterfeit) the first time I submitted it get a PSA 8 the second time.
