Note step two indicates that a sticker is placed on the cardsaver of each card submitted and the sticker includes the order number and individual certificate number (time 1:15-1:35). This takes place before the card is ever looked at to be graded. Therefore, how would they know which cards did not meet the minimum grade and skip those without being reviewed by a grader first?

I agree and you are 100% right, but we all know that's not how it works.....You own a grading company. You have a customer that subs 1000+ cards at a time. It is against the financial interest of your company (a publicly traded company with shareholders, no less) NOT to give him preferential treatment. To put it another way, I work in a restaurant. If we started putting our VIP regulars at the tourist tables by the door, they would stop coming and become a regular somewhere else.
Oh, and your company "sets" thes values of its own cards....if that doesn't define "conflict of interest", I don't know what does. I think maybe I'll write my own price guide that only includes everything I own.
