The damaging cards thing is a real concern. It wouldn't shock me if, in the process of trying to move cards in bulk through the assembly line, some cards inevitably get damaged due to lack of carefulness. I've had cards come back that were absolutely not in the condition I sent them in. Some cards have come back with corner dings that, if I saw those during my initial assessment, would never have been sent to begin with. But other than taking my own high-resolution scans prior to sending them, there's no recourse. And since I'm a collector and not a flipper, the cards I'm sending aren't worth the money to complain about, but the hours of work it took to find the right looking copy of a given card is what hurts more than the potential financial loss.
