[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3229101, member: 76863"]The problem with these theories though is PCGS is publicly traded under CLCT. Blatant market manipulation would get the attention of the SEC and there are laws that protect whitleblowers. That said I do believe they are tighter now than before, however there is a MASSIVE difference between saying we need to watch out for xyz and be more conservative in these areas and telling people to undergrade coins to be tighter. I don't believe there is some undergrading conspiracy or that they were told to knock everything down a grade ect, but I do think there are areas where they reassessed how they view some areas which is perfectly fine and what everyone should be doing with their grading.
