This is my belief as well.

so that equal the 1.5 of today ?

I would say it equals a 1 today. Of course it could be bumped to a 1.5 if resubmitted.

Edited to add some clarification. There are possible 1.5 grades in the poor-fair (1) grade because PSA did not have a 1.5 prior to implementing their .5 grades.

i just send a e-mail to psa to ask question WHY some cards have a PR label and other PR-FR label.

Until a couple years ago, there were only whole number grades (1,2,3 etc.) PSA added the 1.5 grade then. Any card graded before then could not get a 1.5 because there WASN'T one.

[smallpaul2002]

There were only .5 grades added to the PSA grading system about about 2 1/2 years ago..So the card you are questioning, was likely graded before then...

Yeah, it's currently a 1, but at the time was considered Poor to Fair. That means if you send it in for "review" they could bump it to a 1.5, or even a 2. Or they could leave it a 1. They will apply the current grading standards to the card.
