Has grading become the Project 2020 Shore Griffey?

Looking at the backup numbers PSA has sent out and seeing all the noobs on FB and elsewhere grading every possible card in sight, will we see a complete watering down of graded cards/pricing in the next 6-12 months?

Obviously, we'll never see raw prices > graded, but I have a feeling the premium for Gem cards, especially newer stuff will start to disappear. That and/or the price of raw will have to go down (or both). Curious what you guys think (beyond the "grading is the devil" opinion that I'm not totally against).

Full disclosure -- I have over 800 cards at PSA/BGS right now. The only bulk order I have from PSA that is past the "research & ID" stage is the one I sent in January.
