Yes just write your minimum grade requests for each item on a separate sheet of paper and include it with your submission form. FYI You still pay for it

So the short answer is yes.

The long answer is, you can ALWAYS put a minimum grade on a card, just put a sticky note on the outside of the top loader/semi rigid saying what the minimum is to get slabbed. The only way you will pay a lower amount is if you get a bulk submission though. In essence they will be doing the same thing but not slabbing it for you if it is not in a bulk sub so you are paying for the service so why not get it? Id say just get it slabbed so you know what the issues are and then crack it out if you are unhappy with the look of it in the slab.

Did that make sense?

I called them for my first submission and got a good deal on it. It amounted to free shipping on ground and insurance up to 1000 and 3 cards graded for free

I think I got a fair deal

Since you are paying anyway, let them grade and slab them all so you can see the subs. Maybe it didn't get a 9.5 min but it's .5 away because of a fingerprint on the surface. They can tell you what's wrong and sometimes you can do something about it. For everything else, just crack them back out. The only time I would use a minimum grade is if you are doing one of those huge bulk submissions where you only pay for the 9.5s and 10s or when you send something in that is slabbed by another company and you dont want it cracked unless it meets a certain grade.
