It’s all about keeping interest in the hobby for years to come, and making more money. Personally I like a straight grade, only because it's what I have used for so long and what I have collected. There is nothing wrong with half grades as I do it for ungraded cards when I sell them. It's just what has kept these companies separated for so long. When the other companies such as SGC and GAI started grading, they were able to keep a good collector base between PSA and them. There is a possibility both PSA and SGC might benefit in the long run. I am sure PSA will keep many of there core collectors and dealers that will resubmit some of the cards, and SGC will get more customers from people that may want to make a change. This also gives dealers and collectors more options when buying and selling. I am not sure I like the change, as I always had problems selling SGC half grades for some cards, but this should keep things interesting and something to talk about in the next few years.
