SGC Up-charges

[Rich Klein]

I do get both sides on this

1) What I believe is when you pay to get a card graded, unless there is something more which needs to be researched or looked into that is what you should pay. Nothing more nothing less. Getting charged more later is aggravating as a consumer.

2) The other side, as pointed out on a Bill Russell RC, the ppstage/insurance cost to ship the card back to you needs to be adjusted for. If the Russell RC was graded and assumed to have a value of X you paid that to help for the card's safe return

If the grade was 1-2 higher than you expected and the postage/insurance to ensure the safe return then you do need to pay more to in actuality protect yourself.

I'm sure there is more but that's the simplest way to argue both sides of this equation. If something happens to your card on the return trip and the insurance, etc is adjusted you may have preferred to receive your card but at least you should be made whole

So figure out which side of this equation you want to be on and understand both sides of the logic.
