SGC Moving to 10-Point Grading Scale...thoughts?

[1952boyntoncollector]

I like the 9.5 grade option and i think PSA will end up doing that as well. Its a good business decision even if i not a fan of 9's and 10s that to me look the same etc.

Also the picture of the card being scanned with the grade is a good idea to fight fraud. However its still short of my idea of an owner registry to verify the card you are looking at to buy isn't also 'owned' by someone that isnt selling the card..

I also think they should have the 'best of best' card..so whoever has the 'best' 10 is labeled versus the other 10s..and maybe can do that with the 9s..


The other issue will impact the grade bumpers...they will include notes as to why a 7 is a 7. Will be hard to get bump when it in black and white why they think the card is a 7 and not a 7.5. Also if you attempt to cross it..it may be hard for PSA to give a better grade when they see 'bad corner/crease' in the notes.....it will really direct them to the flaw in the card instead of looking at it more like a blank canvass.
