Like, can you get proper magnification on the sides of the card to check for bumps etc., while it's in the holder? I mean, I guess the answer is yes, but man...

What would they do if you sent them something graded by a really sketchy grading company? The kind of place that sometimes grades fakes. If you put a minimum grade on it they'd need to authenticate it without holding it, and so, e.g., without being able to check to see if it's the right card stock. Would they refuse to grade it, and if so on what grounds?
Thats the trade off. It's harder to examine the card in a holder and it's less likely to get a bump. But there is too much risk for most to crack a card of this caliber out. If they can't determine the card will meet your minimum grade requirement, or even authenticity PSA will return the card to you in the same holder you submitted it in.
