No, the opposite of that. Slower, a bit more expensive, but with far fewer mistakes. Maybe a detailed report indicating the reasons for the grade. Plenty of room for better holders all around, and maybe giving some choice of holders.

Really, other than dealers not wanting cash tied up for any length of time at all and probably a nervous insurance company, there's no good reason to rush the more valuable cards and take a long time on the cheap ones. That's entirely backwards to how it's done in many other hobbies (If it's done at all)

The report could be digital, or printed, or both.
Maybe a registry that allows cards from other companies to be entered, perhaps with a bit of weighting in favor of the new company.
