Hi John, I am glad you have been making this into a routine responding to Graig's questions, and you give well reasoned and thoughtful answers. Thanks.
Thanks Andrew! I found that I had a lot more to say that could properly fit in a comment to his video, so I decided to do a video where I could express my thoughts. They have been fun to do.
You offered a perfectly reasonable explanation. Everybody wants their 1993 SP Jeter card slabbed, whatever the grade, and that's not true for the other players. That explanation would seem to apply to other high-demand cards, such as 1989 UD Griffey, though I haven't checked. Of course it's more fun to theorize there's a conspiracy to limit the number of PSA 10's for nefarious reasons. After all, with modern technology it would be strange if an ultra-modern card did NOT come out of the pack worthy of a 10, right? Right? 🤔 We need a tinfoil hat emoji.
Thanks John. Conspiracy theories are fun to talk about. But barring any whistleblower witness that has proof, I don't know if there would be any way to truly know that the grading companies are limiting the number of 10s that are issued for certain cards.
I think a better question would be: WHO owns the 10s in the cards that collectors feel are "pop controlled". I have asked several y000t000bers to do that analysis and am still waiting.
That would be interesting to find out. But I suspect that some of those owners want to keep it a secret that they own those copies. So it may be impossible to find out who owns them to see if there might be any connection/influence with the grading companies.
all grades aren't the same all 5's , 6's , 7's , 4's and 3's are not the same. we've seen some cards poorly graded cards that look the same but are not 9's more like 5 or 6's there are probably cards graded a 10 but more look like a 8.5. do company's put one grade on a card say a 10 but should be graded a 8.5 do they do it to be controlling the population not sure?

@@WadeBoggsFan A fired or former grader would have blown the whistle by now.
