JimB"And it still doesn't address the issue that a small percentage of altered cards have gotten holdered"
Barry,
What makes you think they would not do anything if they saw a card they thought was altered. My guess is that in PSA's mind, the number would be extremely small - an anomoly that could be dealt with, but not something that they need to put into their new half-grade press release.

P.S. I will say it again, that I think SGC is the better of the two companies. I guess I have a tendancy to defend the underdog, which PSA certainly is around here, though not in the larger card collecting community.
Do any of you actually think that if SGC started offering more half grades they would routinely (even 5% of the time) propose to the owner that their 4 is really a 3.5 and then compensate them for the difference? I have news for you all: SGC is a for profit business as well and there is no chance in hell they would do that either.
