PSA: $500
SGC: $450
CSG: $300
BVG: $300

Which one would you buy?
It's a bad hypothetical because just from the slabs, the buyer could not be sure the cards were identical. You're injecting additional information. In a real world situation people have to make judgments about the competence of the TPG at detecting alterations, for example.
