@kemost Well that’s a nice idea in theory but grading is subjective so that’s not really a proper approach imo. Let’s take base charizard for example… a mint 9 grade is really good, but if you get that and you sent the card under walk through($600) thinking it would hit a 10 and it gets a 9, you basically just spent 35% of the card’s value alone on just getting it slabbed which is pretty bad
The upcharge system itself is a load of crap anyhow. I mean, just read some of these comments by kinggr here : www.elitefourum.com/t/psa-upcharge/29286/1
Edit : And even if people did sub things at the right level, that’s not even what’s contributing to most of the backlog. The backlog consists mostly of people subbing in garbage sub 10 dollar cards en masse, not a bunch of people sending in high value cards through bulk
