MattMVSNYC - "i'm confused...for years people have been saying that PSA should have half-grades (like SGC), so that grading would be more accurate...now they finally announce it, and everyone is bashing them...i don't get it?"
The issue is not that PSA has implemented half-grades; the issue is the policy of guaranteeing equals or greater than grading on resubmission. If they had implemented half grades and said upon resubmission we will re-evaluate the card; your 7 may end up as a 6.5, stay a 7, a 7.5 or get an 'A' most of us would applaud the change. The policy of "equals or greater than" was driven by greed and is bad for the hobby since it will incorrectly shift the sum of PSA graded cards to being graded on average higher then they are now.
