I think there is some theory of economics at play here that states the more valuable the card, the more quickly the consumer would want it back, and the grading services recognize that. The submitter doesn't mind the grading service taking a month to grade his commons, but he probably wants his Cobbs and Mathewsons back as quickly as possible, and he's willing to pay a premium for the faster service.
