A few thoughts on this:
1. Is this worth the gamble anymore with turnaround times and prices being higher? I could see when it was $10 a card but not so much now.
2. Are grading companies using AI now to weed out resubmits? Or is that a future ambition?

Just this one example you posted shows it is definitely not worth the risk, especially in light of higher grading costs.
As to your second point, I think not. Has been a lot of talk on the issues involved, and would think a grading company would mention such a change, to if nothing else, pat themselves on the back.
