They are doing this because they are now on the hook for additional costs, nothing more, nothing less. It is not unethical. It is unethical to submit $2000+ cards for grading at bulk submission levels hoping that PSA doesn't notice.
Do you want them to charge every person who ever submits a 1986 Fleer Jordan at the tier for a PSA 10? Same with the 1993 SP Jeter? The market determines the market price, not PSA.

As someone who has never personally sent a card for grading and had no idea about different prices levels or charges based on card values I feel this is completely unethical!
They're a grading company. Their job is to grade a card. It should not matter what value the card is, it gets the same treatment as any other, which is to be graded...
Insurance on return delivery is of course expected, but it sounds like PSA is simply trying to cover their own guarantee by charging customers based on card value, which I find absolutely appalling.
I have a valuable card in a PSA slab that needs re-holdering. Does this mean they'd charge me thousands of dollars to do so, or is it only for new grades?
