Seems like a pretty straightforward argument for PSA. PSA grading fees are based on the value of the card, because as the value of a card increases, PSA's risk is increased (insurance, damage liability and challenges to PSA's services/grades/authenticity). PSA does not charge for services until they ascertain the grade and value of a card, then the customer is submitted an invoice for any upcharges if there are discrepancies between the customer's assessed value and the company's assessment of the current value. If the customer disagrees, he can decline the upcharge and the card will be returned without the grading service. PSA does not force a customer to pay for a higher service.
