You can call it what you like, but the grading service is the main thing.

If you go to an attorney and ask them to draw you up a will, they don't separately charge you for the paper copy(ies) of your will they create either. The service provided is the main thing in both cases, with the flip/holder or the paper hard copies just being ancillary items to the actual work/services being performed.

for bulk, the $18 national special seemed reasonable for the $199 max value. for $22, i dunno, probably just hold onto anything in that bracket for next summer's special. or bump to $30 for anything more valuable.

So does that mean we can expect to buy all graded cards at their raw prices plus grading fees going forward rather than what the market values those same cards in the PSA slabs for?
