Potential service level pricing model

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but just brain storming here. What about a service level pricing model based on a current realized prices for declared value to bring back some lower priced service levels sooner than later?

They already have a realized auction price search function, why not tie that into the submission level selection?

Input the predicted grade on the submission form and the search runs and spits out an averaged realized price over say the last few months. Obviously won't work for cards with no recent comps, so that's a kink for sure, probably would require an audit during the R&I stage...and the search would have to be again applied at the time of assembly/shipping for market valuation at that time.

Upcharges would have to be enforced more strictly to catch people trying to sneak mint cards in at less than mint levels, this is already being done to some extent.

But this would allow for set builders and collectors of lower value cards to get back to submitting while at the same time reduce the mania submissions of some of the more bloated popular cards.

I know this is a far from perfect model, but does it warrant some more thought?
