I'm assuming this has been covered but I couldn't find anything on the subject so I am wondering what the deal is with PSA graded commons. Do these particular sellers not have to pay to have cards graded? I was looking for Chili Davis items on The Bay and was astonished by how many of his random commons had been graded.

No people will grade just about anything if for nothing else than people collect graded sets. Im surprised when people have PSA grade that sort of card because BVG is so much cheaper and you can select your return time.

Yup. If your a PSA guy and a set collector, your gonna need the commons. Problem is you can buy them cheaper than have them graded yourself. But the 80's stuff, I just dont get.

Exactly because if you can get a gem mint version of a common, then it's not that common, and I would also say that it might have sentimental values for the collector (first card you get from a player,etc...)

For example I have a graded version of the Pedroia's '12 Topps because I love both player and picture
