PSA-graded cards with the newly introduced half grades have begun to appear on eBay. Here are some examples of cards that have received the NM-MT+ 8.5 designation:

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.

The price tracking service I use (vcp) set up half grades as soon as they were announced.
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.
I still think it's a BS money grab by a company losing ground to their competition.

Who would go through the trouble and cost of getting an Eddie Leon graded twice (or even once)?

I'll second you on that, Paul. I hope the Leon wasn't a resubmission.
