Agree. There's always the chance for a half point bump on any card; many people would never bother to submit such a card prior to selling it. And as Leon says, I've got undergraded cards which are 1/1 in a 40 holder; it makes no sense to resubmit them for a bump because the value is in the rarity and not the grade.
