SteveJeff I have no idea, all I can do at this time is report what i have heard and seen.
At this time I have heard of at least 10 RAW subs popped (around 1000 cards) and the .5 grade has been issued less then 7% (more like 5%) of the time.
IMO the bumps are going to be issued to cards where a substantial spread in price between grades exists.
The best pct thus far was to someone who had 2 cards out of 14 grade out with a .5 grade. Both those cards IMO have substantial spreads between grades too. One was a 68 Bench rookie the other a 53 or 54 Satchel Paige. I think both were 7.5's but am not sure. Could be 8.5's.
If I was to resubmit any cards for this 'bump' Id make sure that they had substantial spreads in price. I wouldn't do it for commons just to raise my registry ranking.
