I think my answer will vary depending upon the value of the cards.
If I consign a raw, T206 Wagner, then the auction house should probably be willing to cover that grading fee.
If I consign a raw, 1968 Topps set, but want it graded, that should be on me.
Where to draw the line? Who knows and who cares? But (big but), it should be clearly spelled out up front what the costs will be and who should pay it.
