    I think the half grades may increase the price of some cards, however, I think the net effect will be PSA making more money by people having cards resubmitted for grading. PSA is already over loaded with work, but the all might dollar keeps knocking at their door. I would suspect that 60 - 70% of their work load in the near future will be resubmits. Oh, well I guess a person just has to roll with the flow.

    Nice welcome to a newcomer.

    Edited to add: Welcome aboard, Phineas. I would imagine this new policy is going to bring a lot of baffled customers to this board for the first time.

    Mr Bud what did the others look like? were they too centered? centered examples have always fetched more.

    You don't have to have 1000 posts to have an opinion on half grades. I rarely post however read the boards regularly and agree with the Phineas J Whoopee.
