Here are some examples of cards that have received the NM-MT+ 8.5 designation:<br /><br /><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/49B_Campy.jpg"> <img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/57T_Smalley.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/58T_McDaniel.jpg"> <img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/64T_Aaron.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/68T_Sadeki.jpg"> <img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/68T_Bench.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/75T_Leon.jpg"> <img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/75Tm_Yount.jpg"><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Now I guess we sit back and wait for the e-bay closing prices to be tracked by the websites that provide that information (hopefully they have updated their tracking to include these half-grades also). Then we'll find out over time how much of a price difference there is for the half-grade bumps.<br />

Posted By: <b>Anthony N</b><p>The price tracking service I use (vcp) set up half grades as soon as they were announced.<br /> From what I"ve seen and the early training grades the half grades are basically a reverse qualifier, denoting superior centering for the grade. Initially, at least, a very small percentage are getting the bumps. I'm sure this will change with the weather in Tustin.<br />I still think it's a BS money grab by a company losing ground to their competition.
