Done buying high end cards

I've always wondered the same thing. Like, how does it even work? How does 4 Sharp Corners get all these 10's? Do they just send in 5000 count boxes and PSA only grades the 10's? Do they get charged for the cards that don't grade? Then they sell many of these 10's for a couple dollars over what it would cost me to grade them. Is there discount that big? I'd sure like to know how it's done.

If you were PSA and just starting out wouldn't it make sense to just grade a bunch of cards you got yourself just so you could increase the number of graded cards in the market place? You wouldn't have wanted (or needed) to wait for customers to get your product out there. Because, isn't the goal of PSA to have every card ever made entombed in plastic? I always assumed that's what 4 Sharp Corners was - basically a branch of PSA.
