SGC Sub Question - Better be an honest mistake...

[Harliduck]

So...I better not be getting screwed.


I have never made a graded submission and had no plans to do so. I do however have a few graded cards and runs and have mostly preferred SGC because they look so much nicer. I really don't care about resell and all that. Anyway, I am trying to finish up a Harmon Killebrew and Hank Aaron SGC base card run. I am almost done, just needed both their 1956 Topps cards. I have a Hank, and two Killebrews extra raw, so thought, hey...lets do a sub instead of buying new ones...and at $25 it's MUCH cheaper and I thought fun to do a sub. First one ever, doubt I will ever do it again (just overall not a graded card guy).

3/24 - Went online and created submission...3 cards, $25 each, $15 prepaid return shipping
3/30 - Website listed as "Received"
4/8 - Today, listed as "Post Grading Processing" (can't find the grades?)

Then the kicker...my invoice moved from $25 a card...to $75 a card!!! It says I now owe another $150 in service fee!!! WTF??

I submitted these cards WELL before their price hike...and obviously I would have NEVER subbed at $75 which is fricken ridiculous. So is $25 really, but as said, cheaper than buying new ones so it did make sense for me. They will obviously not get one more red cent from me on this and I am hoping it's some type of billing error...and I am hoping someone will tell me maybe here as such. It's 8:00pm as I write this and only saw it a few minutes ago...so can't really call anyone. Just reaffirms that I shouldn't even be dabbling in card grading...
