Are the current tight PCGS standards a boon for collectors?

If you are submitting, the current PCGS "tightness" might get you down.
But I don't submit much. I am, however, buying. I was at a small show today and one of my favorite regional dealers had a fresh batch from PCGS. I found the best 3cN in MS64 I have ever seen. In fact, I have never been fully satisfied with the 3cN's I have seen in 64, so I had resolved that I would need to go 65 to get a nice piece for my type set. Then this beauty crossed my path and I picked it up for Greysheet 64 Ask prices. Early dies state (no die cracks), Super luster, good strike, no visible hits without a glass. PCGS can keep getting tighter. That is just fine by me!

There is a school of thought though that states if it hurts the Dealers, it's eventually going to hurt the collector.
