You may feel the upside well compensates for these, and you are probably right (if planning to sell), but downsides do exist.

1. Being worth a thousand dollars more than the grading fees when slabbed.
2. SGC is turning cards around in two weeks or less.
3. USPS registered mail is 99.99999% safe with full insurance for the item. They don't lose these because someone in the postal service has to sign off on the package at each stage of the shipment and whoever signs is personally responsible for the package at that stage.
