From what I was told, the price you pay is dependent on the value of the card, which seems odd unless the company is willing to claim liability on any damage done in shipping. But they seem to have specific shipping instructions (from what little I know), and then you pay your price to get a 9, only to get an 8.5 and then pop it open and resend it until you get a 9.
There are people that will buy "on the fence" cards, as in .5 cards or whatever, pop em open and resend them in.
Apparently there's enough incentive in the price of the grade, that for expensive cards, it's worth it.
Again, people don't need to justify their purchases.
At the end of the day, these are overpriced pieces of card stock.
But it just feel like grading companies are making a disproportionately large sum of cash for giving out stickers with numbers on them and a protective case.
