How many examples have been found so far? I think 3% sounds high, but have no idea on the scale of the issue.

Coming up with a percent in this context isn’t really helpful though.
It makes much more sense to frame slab value in terms of the grader’s reputation...which is how slabs have always been valued.
The question to ask: is PSA as reputable now as GAI or any of the other second or third tier grading companies?
The answer now seems to be “yes”. PSA no longer appears to be on the top tier of graders.
As such it is reasonable to price a PSA slab at the same level as a GAI [or insert a second/third tier slabber] slab.
If looking for a percent, “What percent value has a given PSA slab lost?” Would make for an interesting poll, but I’m sure there’d be a ton of fighting therein...
