The longer that an order sits in Assembly (green check mark), the more likely that it is to be upcharged.

I'm really hoping for multiple upcharges in my current order that has...

8 is too high. SGC and PSA sell for pretty comparable amounts into the mid-grade range, around 5 or so. The higher the grade, the more that PSA pulls ahead.
