Define: "High Grade"
Old question, I guess, but: This term thrown around all the time but I am wondering if there is consensus on what it signifies or if changes depending on how tough the card is or what?

A PSA 1 Plank is still "low grade" and "low end" regardless of scarcity and population reports. A dealer touting that the card is "the highest ever graded Pop 1 of 1" PSA 3 does not make the card "high end".
A skanky 3:00 AM "3" at the local bar on a Saturday night is still a "3". It still does not make her "high end" just because she is the hottest girl in the bar at that time. She may be the "best available" at the time but Scarlett Johannson can walk in at any time. Unlikely but it could happen. As the recent Black Swamp find has shown, a motherload of PSA 9 Cobbs can surface at any time flooding the market and shift the whole scale. --C.

I would think high end depends on the set. 7 or above for most sets, but other more obscure sets like the e107 would probably be a 3. I guess a simple way to do it is take all the grades in a single set from a pop chart, put them in a range, and average the first 10% of the grades. Ex - A set has 50 graded cards, so take the 5 highest graded (10%) in the population charts and average them. PSA Grade 10 8 8 7 7 High end for that particular set would be 8.

I guess I should have limited this to question of "high grade" since high end is obviously subjective. I thought there might be some consensus that "high grade" meant a 7 or above or some such....
