Just mail them yourself, you liable to have them graded and sent back to you by the following week. If it's really what's cost effective for SGC, seems to be man people's argument as to why they're not grading on site at the National why not slim it down and cut their costs even more.
Johnny, IMHO, SGC's point in setting up at the National is simply to both have a presence and to accept submissions. I am one of those collectors who, if at all possible, will avoid shipping valuable cards to both TPGs and auction houses to avoid the risk of loss or damage, as well as save the cost of shipping. Fortunately for me, both SGC and REA set up at the thrice-yearly Chantilly Show (I live 10 miles from this show).
