Guys,

There's too much room for abuse. Look at it this way, in order for the grading companies to make money, they can't pay the graders that much. Maybe 10 - 15 dollars an hour. Are they really going to spend extra on having a separate security system to make sure the graders don't cheat for their friends.

The people who submit their cards stand to make maybe an additional $500 if they recieve a better grade on a nice prewar Hall of Famer. However, the grading company will make the same 10 bucks either way. The person submitting the card has a much higher incentive to try and influence the grader. Since the grader isn't making all that much, he may listen.
