The grade guarantee doesn't apply to the submitter, since they couldn't have lost money just by grading it. PSA will normally fix mechanical errors for free no matter who submits them, even if the original submitter called them the wrong thing on the submission form; PSA is supposed to catch that with their Research & ID teams.
This is one reason that when PSA was dealing with the early stages of the PWCC scandal, I recommended that they tell customers to return them at their original cost to the seller, who would then either not have a grade guarantee claim or would have a reduced loss because they likely got the item cheaper. PSA actually agreed with that, and that's one reason that most altered cards sold through PWCC were returned to them; it minimized PSA liability.
