I believe the staff at PWCC has increased in recent years, and now there are no doubt openings for 24/7 Vault Wardens.
With increased fees paid to TPGs for high valued cards, would there not be an incentive to avoid rejecting all or the majority of such cards submitted? If all the altered and conserved cards were not given a numerical grade, it seems to me that the TPG would be shooting themselves in the foot. How many times is one going to donate $500 to an organization for an unslabbed and ungraded card. After all you have to have a slab and a number to qualify for a sticker, at least until PWCC begins offering raw stickers.
And how will the Vault Wardens be equipped, with billy clubs or tasers?
