I imagine it's a lesser amount of people, but I've run into a few of this type of seller with graded cards...
Sometimes someone will submit 2-3+ of a certain card hoping for a 10 (or similar high mark given the issue) so they can keep one for their collection. When a 10 is practically unobtainable or existing copies are sky-high in pricing, the gamble can outweigh just outright buying it (if they can buy it at all).
The leftovers are the cost of doing business hunting for the gem out the submitted ones. Occasionally they'll get multiples of the high mark card and occasionally they're just looking to recoup any of the gamble cost.
