Time is the major factor, for $10 they probable spend about 30 seconds looking over the card to determine a grade. If they had to write an explanation why and point out all the flaws it would greatly increase the time spent on each card. I think somewhere it is posted that PSA grades over 100K cards a month. So now if you increase that time from 30 seconds a card to 3 minutes you would have to add a lot more graders to keep up with demand. As well with the increased time they would have to increase the cost to you. Scanning each card and documenting it also demands a lot of time. Then they would have to put in a system to organize each card. I can see them offering a premium service where they give you the choice for this but don't think many people would do it because of it would cost to much.
