Card Grading

Determining the card's grade

The sharpness of the corners and the degree to which a card was cut off-center determines the maximum possible grade that the card can receive. The card's grade is further reduced by any flaws or blemishes that it may have. Each card is evaluated on the following characteristics and assigned a score.

  1. Corners - Each corner of a card is individually analyzed, and then assigned a score on how square, sharp, and flawless it appears.
  2. Centering - The borders are measured, at multiple points along the edge, to determine the horizontal and vertical centering and tilt.
  3. Defects - The card is examined for imperfections, such as: size, print flaws, dings, stains, creases, or other wear which could lower its grade.
  4. Bonus for Perfect Centering - A vintage card, with near perfect centering, is given a one-half grade bonus. So when you buy one of our cards with a half-grade (e.g. 3.5 or 6.5) it will appear perfectly centered, both vertically and horizontally.

Grading Criteria

  1. Worst Corner - A card can grade only as high as the worst corner will allow.
  2. Average Corner
  3. Tilt - The difference in width of a card border near the top, compared to the bottom.
  4. OCT - The sum of how far a card is Off-Center, plus its Tilt.
  5. Minimum Centering Requirements
  6. Eye Appeal - The combination of a card's centering, corners and tilt.
  7. Well-Centered - Cards that appear perfectly centered receive a bonus of one-half grade.
  8. Flaws, defects and other imperfections - can lower a card's grade.
  9. Card Backs - the above criteria is also considered, for the back of the cards, but does not inflict as severe of a penalty to its grade.

Packaging

Please note that when images are enlarged there may be instances of vertical lines running through the scans. This was caused by a "dust speck" on the scanner and can be verified by the vertical lines running into the black margins on the top and bottom of the image.
