You're already sitting on a bunch of 45s, so you're actually going backward.

You might have to get all your 40's bumped up to 45's and finish off with all SGC 45's. I like 50's but since i buy only high end 50's, i probably have alot of 55's

more false precision in my humble opinion.

I love SGC, but I agree there is no reason for this change. They started with a proverbial 100-point scale -- obviously they knew there was more room for detail from the get go. Why in 2012 does it suddenly make sense?

This is a rare move without substance that we seldom see from SGC. Hopefully it is not a portent of things to come.

Show 100 people, who do not suffer from color-blindness, either an example of blue or an example of green and they likely will be able to identify the color correctly. Show the same 100 people a card starting with blue on the left side and morphing to green on the right. Ask them to pinpoint exactly where blue becomes green and you will get many different answers. The answers will be skewed by subjectivity. The extra grade options will offer the same results.
