DJI oppose this. For years, perhaps it was a good idea, but too many cards have been graded. It changes the balance of the way cards are bought, sold and collected.
All it does is bring into question whether something "deserves" a higher grade and all it makes us sheep do is send in hopes of...what...climb the atop the Registry and improve upon the award winning sets? If I had a complete PSA 8 set, I'm not sure I would be pleased about this because I would feel the rules had changed. If another guy with a PSA 8 set sends all his cards in, won't he trump me with his various 8 1/2's?
And why can't a PSA 7 now become a PSA 6 1/2 and how long before we use further fractions...like 6 1/4 or 6 1/8?
PSA is fantastic at this. They turned to grading signed balls on a scale (a perfect 10 Willie McCovey is now worth $350?) and it's simply put in place to squeeze a fraction out of us.
