I cant imagine the number of returns if all cards were sold raw....the disparity of 'mint' and near mint from sellers of raw cards would be just as much if not more than the different grades you get on resubmitting to TPG....sellers are a bit more biased on what they sell in terms of the condition they say its in.

You're missing the point. If today I can submit a card to SGC and get a 7 where PSA would grade 6, the fact that PSA will do better in an equal holder doesn't matter so much does it? The apples to apples, or at least one of them, is how will I make out if I send the same card to each grading service. MY example not yours involves the "exact same card."

understood..i am talking after graded and its the same number for each......but your example is the reason for the 'crossover' game...many times I bid on a sgc card only for what a psa card sell for a digit or 2 below for exactly that reason...
