<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 291657, member: 1674&quot;]In general yes, but not for the reason you assume.&nbsp; When a coin is already holdered the rim isn&#039;t as visible as if the coin is raw, which is a big disadvantage for the regrader.&nbsp; Therefore they are very careful about upgrading a coin because once that decision is made and the coin is cracked out then they are stuck with it even if there is a newly visible rim problem tat caused the coin to be net graded into the holder it had been in.&nbsp; By cracking out your resubmissions you give the grader proof that there are no hidden rim issues to worry about.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the question in the OP, I think it is fairly clear that the standards have changed for the looser over the last 5 years or so.&nbsp; The most obvious place where this has occurred is on Saints.&nbsp; The lines between 3&#039;s and 4&#039;s and between 4&#039;s and 5&#039;s have steadily eroded and the result is that there are some seriously ugly/baggy 64&#039;s and 65&#039;s out there now.</p><p><br /></p><p>As one of the biggest crackout companies I can guarantee this is true, based on our experience.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the insinuation that the big submitters get preferential treatment that I can guarantee is false.&nbsp; The difference is that when the biggest submitteres get a coin back in the wrong holder they will crack them out and just resubmit them (because they really can grade that well), whereas the small submitter is less likely to submit a coin 6, 10, or 15 time to get the correct grade.&nbsp; I literally have seen mail totes that are full of rubberbanded cert tags that are waiting to be returned to the tpg&#039;s to be removed from the pop reports.&nbsp; The best resubmitters understand the long term cost of being committed to getting coins into the right holder, unlike the casual submitter.&nbsp; I cannot overstate this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
