But if the odds of getting a 10 are cut and the prices of 9's increase, more people may simply choose to just get the 9 and avoid trying to get lucky with raw cards getting 10's. So price of raw cards also sag.

There's also the reality that as less cards get graded a 10, less cards will be graded. The price for a 9 may go up, but it won't go up that much and for a lot of cards that'll be a nonstarter.
