Auto's are obviously high. So about 100 of the above with auto's. If I pay $100 for a card, you would probably need an 8 or 9 to make it worth your while. 8's are not guaranteed in any way. At $15 to grade, that difference would help alleviate the pain if you get a 7. Maybe be the difference in breaking even.

1996 Kobe's, most are under $100 each
2000 Brady, most are under $250 each
2001 pujols, most are under $150
2003 Lebron, most are under $250

I'm talking more about RC's for Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Big big big money in those.
You can also look into things like high end Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho, Sergio Ramos.
Also worth considering are ones such as 10's of other prominent RC's of that era like Wayne Rooney, Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Buffon, Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Casillas, Eto'o, Iniesta, Klose, Torres, Robben, Manny Pacquiao.
Plenty of other cards that are not RC's are worth grading from that year range too of other soccer stars. Probably some high value tennis and golf in there too but I'm not up on the latest sales figures for those.
I've stated over and over just do bulk and everyone wins. $15 for 250 cards. PSA gets $3750 and we get a price range the normal collector/investor can deal with. It's not optimal for either party, but much like a personal relationship, there has to be some give and take.
I think a lot of us here would be much happier with this type of pricing, w/ better deals for higher volume.

I probably need to get into a new hobby or it is time to move on if this is what will determine what gets graded
because I can't picture a single card from any of those names that you listed.

I like the higher volume suggestion. If a member can submit 1000 plus cards, it goes down to 12.00.
I'd likely want to sub 2000 cards if they could get the rate below 10 per card. Looking at that same stack of items with the perspective of a rate of 30 per card, I'd cut it down to about 20 out of the 2000.

i agree, I know a few of them but not many. But each their own.
