One reason I've not bothered with grading any of my sale inventory is the delay. I'd rather turn over the inventory quickly and move on to the next deal than wait half a year or more on the hope of scoring a money-making grade. If I think something is really, really sharp and might get a high grade, I just set it aside for the time being on the hope (perhaps misplaced) that the TPGs will get their acts together enough to clear some of that backlog. I can always sell a nice card but only if I have it in hand...
