Default The long awaited PSA half grade!

Posted By: barrysloate

The idea that the grade of the card you submit can not be lower makes absolutely no sense at all.

By definition, if you send a graded card back to them they have to reassess it. They don't just give you the half grade by request, you have to earn it. So what if they see that a card is a little weaker than originally thought? Why can't a 7 become a 6.5, or even a 6? The reason is everyone would be too afraid to resubmit if there was a chance their card would lose some points.

So this isn't really a reevaluation of a card at all; what it really is is: "if you resubmit your card and pay the fee again, we will reward you by bumping up a percentage of them." Because there is no way to lose, as all you can do is gain.

Is that a system?
