As an SGC collector, I'm late to the news that PSA made some silent yet major changes to its grading scale. What is the impact?

Yes, SGC is a bit backed up at the moment. The flood of questions gave me the idea to make a "bookmark worthy" article I will update weekly or as needed to answer current questions about SGC.

A fun hobby of mine . . . removing baseball cards from albums they have been pasted into. Here's a 1932 Sanella Babe Ruth safely removed from the album page. If it can be done safely it's generally better for the card.
