The problem might be that you’re sending in stuff that you expect to be lower in grade along with the stuff you’re expecting higher. So when they grade your bundle the grader might be subconsciously basing scores around these group of cards and you’re setting the bar too low with the not as mint stuff. Maybe send in all of the stuff you think will be stellar together and all of the sub par/lucky score stuff separate. Also the saturation of cards they’re getting, they probably don’t want to hand out 10s as often anymore.

@@cryptidproductions3160 I think the entire system has been corrupted. It's not surprising PSA purposely downgrades cards by a point , simply because they know the card will be resubmitted for re-grading eventually. Think about it. When the difference in pricing is 50%-70% off, there's a huge incentive for re-submission, whether by the owner, or the person acquiring the card. What does a PSA 10 even mean? I looked at earlier graded examples of PSA 10 and I don't think I've seen a single card that wouldn't be docked a grade or 2 just from the pictures provided at auction. It's no wonder why people think they're getting ripped off by PSA. Then, there seems to be a group of people who get their cards upgraded because of who they are. Even just glancing over the sales records and tracing back to the original sale, you can see a lot of the times cards being flipped multiple times vs a genuine collector buying to add to their collection, there by fixing the market price.
