And here's the real beauty of this ridiculous (subjective, speculative) pricing model...they sometimes have your item in backlog for months, so in this volatile market the "value" can change drastically from the time you submitted until the time their work is done. And if it does, they can hold your item and come back and upcharge you for the new current "value." It's good to be the King! lol

If you submit a card and pay based on an expected grade of lets say a 6 - they will upcharge you if it happens to grade higher, but I have never heard of them reducing the charge if the grade came in lower - wouldn't that make the pricing model a whole lot more fair??!!
