Ok, so Silver ($69), Gold ($149), Platinum ($249). They respectively come with 0, 4, 8 grading vouchers.

Can someone explain the value of the vouchers? The membership pricing tiers value them at $20-25, but isn't that the cost of a grading submission anyway? Why wouldn't I just get a silver membership and buy grading normally? It certainly beats getting billed the higher amount every year.

Maybe you guys can also enlighten me on Gold Shield and TrueView pricing. It seems like if you added them to a tier where they are not included, it just moves you to the Regular tier price. If you have to have GS/TV—which I feel pretty strongly about for varieties—then do you just go straight for Regular Tier?

Ok, so I partly answered my own question. Vouchers can be used for Regular service, which appears to include Gold Shield and TrueView. That's a $40 fee, so it's worth it for expensive submissions.

Monopolized cash grab.

There, I said it.
