Doing this to scale could be quite profitable, assuming PSA eventually opens up a lower service level where it makes sense.

CSG and SGC both have tough grading standards, from what I've seen, so you are basically getting a pre-screening opinion of the card before you send to PSA. Given SGC's troubles with re-sale on ebay, there are lots of bargains out there to grab.
very interesting idea.
Has anyone tried this?
