John was kind enough to offer some insight on the reholdering question (in a different thread), so I copied and pasted it here...

I don't know whether or not the Grade Guarantee would apply to a slab they consider damaged, and whether you'd get cut a check for the difference if they come in lower.
Your best bet is to take them to an on-site grading location like the National, and discuss it with the employees before submitting.
