He even mentions gator's name and how this topic has been discussed by boardies in the past. 

I saw that, didn't stop Beerbong from trying to take the credit however - legend in his own mind, etc.

Lower grade GA especially should get good bumps. For every high grade buyer, there are 10 buyers that can't afford the high grade copy and are more than happy in many cases to pay more for a lower trade one. Low grade books often go for more and in some cases, way more than guide.

Was wondering if this is a sign or portent of things to come? 

Who on the boards here would have thought 10 years ago that low grade copies of GA books would be accelerating in value at a much faster rate than the high grade copies of the same books?        Especially when most collectors were not paying much attention to the lower grades and primarily chasing after the higher grades at that time.

Wondering if 10 years from now we will reach the stage where the marketplace for Conserved and dare we say Restored (Slight) copies are accelerating at a faster rate in values than the uber expensive unrestored copies for key and semi-key GA books?  And for the exact same reason, namely availability and affordability,  why values are increasing faster on the lower grades as opposed to the higher grades in today's marketplace.

Yes, I believe so.
