For example, take an "old" PSA 7 graded card. In order for it to get the 7 it had to range between 6.5 and 7.5 in the graders opinion. Less than a 6.5 it would be in a 6 holder, greater than 7.5 it would be in an 8 holder.

Now with the half-grades, a 7.6 thru 7.9 will be in a 7.5 holder. An 8 thru 8.5 will be in an 8 holder. And an 8.6+ will be in an 8.5 holder.

In summary, an "old" 7.5 through 7.9 is sitting in an 8 holder. Now, with the new system, it would not be in the 8 but rather a 7.5 holder.

In conclusion - high end for the grade cards will now only be a 7.5 instead of an 8. High end for the grade cards already got their bump with the old single digit system.
