Matt -- with their greater than/equals policy, PSA is assuming that they got the whole number grade correct the first time. They are simply offering to refine these whole grades with half grade bumps where they think it is appropriate. The question of whether they got it right the first time is a different issue. That is where their buy back policy might come into play, if a card is clearly overgraded. My understanding is PSA does have a buy back policy, but that they are more stingy in compensating anyone for overgraded cards than SGC is.
