I had no idea PSA was using half grades, lol. I rarely ever see current stuff graded PSA anyways.

Close to a year? Not sure but it has been a while. They only go up to 8.5 as well. There is no 9.5 on their scale.

Wow, guess I'm behing the times then...
I posted in a thread on the PSA website about a year or so ago asking why they do not use ".5's" and was all but scolded for even mentioning it. I was lectured "they are an industry standard and would stand to loose respect if varying from there grading system to a more specific 'beckett' grading system".

When they realized all the money they could make by having people with 7s and 8s resubmitting their cards for that meaningless .5.
You know it's a pure money grab situation because they added everything except a 9.5, which means it's really a gimic. Because, if you can have a card that's condition is halfway between and 8 and a 9, surely you can have one halfway between a 9 and a 10...

Thanks, it is one of the best centered cards I have from the set. I love it because the borders are soo white too.

Yep , it 's all about people wanting to resubmit. Hoping for for that .5 bump to make a few bucks.
