Do you separate your 90's and ultra modern orders?

Just curious how people approach sending cards in that have different conditions/sensitivity/standards due to age

I have a few ultra modern cards that I'm looking to send with my next order that have a good chance at pristine, but a bunch of 90's cards that I think in a regular order would get 9's. I'm worried that being bunched in with Pristines might drop their grade to an 8 just due to the influence on the grader

Anybody tackled this in different ways before? I'd rather just send a single bulk order because shipping costs (I'm in Australia) changes the per unit cost quite dramatically

Never had an issue with sending 90's with ultra modern. In fact, my 90's cards graded better than the ultra modern cards.

I send everything in year/sports order (earliest year/sport then next earliest year/sport) and haven't seen an issue in 8 years of submitting bulk, hundreds of cards.

and im over the whole reaching for 10's thing. just grade my cards and let me enjoy them.
