TPG traits in priority order

The damaged cards thread has me wondering if others have similar priorities as me when submitting cards to TPGs. My priorities are as follows:
- Handling of submitted items without damage/alteration, including slabbing item for safe long term storage
HUGE GAP - Verification of authenticity of item
HUGE GAP - Consistently applied standards
- Price of service
- Other stuff I can't think of
2nd to last. Resale value
Last. Speed of service
I just can't fathom being so lenient about damaged items. If an item with true scarcity was ruined, I wouldn't be so forgiving.

Communication along the way is nice. I have thousands worth of cards at Beckett since July 2020 and I'm not even sure they have them yet.
your number 3 is #1 for me, by a long shot, as a long-term investor/collector.
PSA wins.
Detection of alterations would be number 1 for me.
