If they sell 10 reprints at $500 each and 9 out of 10 customers complain, they can cheerfully and apologetically return all 9 customers' money and still make out like bandits off the one who couldn't tell a reprint from a fake. But the return % is much smaller.

Koos/Dupcheck was running the same scam with restored comics: restore them and sell as unrestored, cheerfully give refunds to the low percentage of customers who could tell they had been altered or who sent them to the grading company and got back the bad news.
