Nope, and the price increases for grading is nearly exponential as well. The EX of 15 years ago is the VG of now. Just two years ago you could submit cards at $6/card for bulk in 5 months, now it's $10-15/card and you wait 10 months to get them back.
But if your card value goes from $50 to $500 or $5000 which is now somewhat common in the current crazy bubble market, now you're paying a whole lot more than $15 a card; more like $75-200 to grade through PSA.
Then when the bubble bursts and the card values drop, you might have sunk more into the grading price than the card is worth. But FOMO/YOLO, ya know?
