I think the reason you pay more for a $250+ card than a $10 isn't that the quality of service differs between the two. They both get graded properly.
What is different is that if something happens to the card, whether they lose it or drop it and ding a corner or whatever, they have a much greater liability with the $250 card. Specifically, they have $250 worth instead of $10.
