If I had a big order I'd feel like I had to run the card now and not risk the chance of the card not being good 6 months from now. It might not even be legal to run a credit card 6 months after you get the number, or at the very least, ok with the credit card company. Even as a customer, I wouldn't feel comfortable having a company keep my credit card number around for 6 months before running it.

Well if Beckett or PSA or whoever has a business model in which it takes nearly 2 years for them to grade a submission of cards, they should institute a practice in which they have to contact a customer and double check their Payment method, just before the cards enter the actual grading process.

There's no reason why anybody should have to pay for any service that far ahead of the actual service being performed, beyond a minimal deposit.

I understand that some submitters do actually do this voluntarily when submitting through a bulk service in order to save a few bucks, entrusting the submission service to actually be responsible with their money when the time comes for their cards to actually be graded.

I don't get it...but I do understand it.
