Inconsistent and illogical PSA grading standards on early 2000s, 90s & 80s

My thought exactly. Huge opportunity for BGS, in my opinion. And you know you'll get some Pristine 10s if you really do the work, even from that 80s and 90s stuff. It is beyond aggravating to KNOW you will get BGS 9.5 Gems and even 10 Pristines from Beckett but from PSA you will get 6s to mostly 8s and 9s with maybe a PSA 10 or two scattered here and there. It's like the PSA 10 grade is PSA 11 now for this stuff. It's inconsistent with 30 years of PSA's work and is a really bad look for them. The junk slab era finds a way to carry on. I mean, who really wants Griffey Jr. RCs in 6s and 7s and 8s, especially of the cheaper brands. So ridiculous.
