Just get the stuff graded and get it shipped. If it is graded too low, the guy getting hammered is not going to stop doing business with them. If the card is graded too high, unlikely there would be complaints. Lots of holder buyers out there.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but to me it's all about the grade. I couldn't care less if it takes 5 days or 30 to grade, I just don't want 8s graded 5 or 9s graded 6, because there's no value added for the money spent. Had this batch graded even decently, I had hundreds more raw cards I was prepared to send in. Now, not going to do it.
