PSA announces half-grade designation
Posted by Chris

ruth12.jpgThe full story is on our home page, but I just thought I’d touch on this subject a bit. Half grades? … hmm.

SGC uses them, Beckett does too. PSA has jumped on board in 2008.

I wonder how many PSA collectors will resubmit cards in hopes of getting their card bumped up another half point. If I had a really solid 1952 Topps Mantle that was graded an 8, I probably would be resubmitting it.

What will this do to values? How will it affect the Set Registry?
According to my understanding, if you resubmit a card already graded by PSA, it can’t be dropped a half grade.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
