Antitrust lawsuits against PSA, JSA, and others

I'm just not clear on how a company would know you're a dealer or why they would care if you sold your authentic signature after paying their fee. When I drop off items for certification I'm just some guy walking in. I don't hand them a business card.

If your item isn't authentic, why should they pass it just because you want to sell it?

The dealers werent dropping off their own items. Other people who bought the item from that dealer were then dropping them off for certification, and they included the dealer cert with the item when they dropped it off.
