I think the seller probably saw a wider distribution of values...
Just making up some numbers,
2.5% things go wrong - lose 15k
10% things go wrong, get altered grade, even upon resubmit - lose 10k
20% nothing changes, grade remains the same - break even
45% things go okay, get 2.5 grade - make 5k
22.5% everything goes better than expected, get grade of PSA 3 - make 30k
That's expecting to make 7.5k on 32k...which isn't a bad return...and is bumped up a lot if you choose to fool yourself into believing that the downside can't possibly occur...
It's an interesting choice to admit to cleaning the card (although it is nice that they did that)...
