Many cards can be 9/10 or bust where the grading fee would be more than the value of the graded card, so those types could be the ones you might "score". I def send those cards to Fananticscollect...

I assume he submitted before the price increase. It's now $19.99 for $500 (TCG) and $21.99 for $500 (TCG and Sports).

Do you mean without "authenticating" the card? You can always ask any company to grade a card as just AUTH, but that is still grading (authenticating) the card.
