If I purchase a collection of graded cards, there is zero cost (to me) in the grading of said cards. The value is found in a handful of cards and the rest can be sold at what the market bears to recoup costs and hopefully turn a profit if that is the goal. As other members noted, there was a time when PSA graded cards for $6-$7 a throw.
On another note, mid grade collections (50's-60's cards) purchased in the 80's of are higher value today and in my opinion some cards are worth grading. Not every collector is after a PSA 8, 9 or 10's. Go read the the 1959 Mantle raw thread and then ask yourself why would you drop good money on a raw card. This is coming from a collector who for a long time was on the fence about the grading of cards.
