That's the explanation I got the first time I saw a dealer with a ton of graded cards at a show.
Hundreds of late 50's commons at below the standard fee.

They would essentially submit an entire collection less any obviously bad cards and the handful of great ones paid for the lower grade cards. The bulk mid grade commons pretty much just covered the bulk submission fees.
