This sounds like a good short-term business model for breaking into the SGC, PSA and Beckett oligopoly. Get a bunch of cards into their slabs, which would then broaden their market and appeal to that collector and perhaps others. At some point down the road, you would pull the promotional freebies when you have acquired some meaningful market share. In this environment, you could see bias in both directions -- too harsh in order to prove legitimacy; as well as too lenient in order to attract submissions.
