The Negative grading scale that I am using is as follows with the number of cards in each grade in parentheses.
1 - Full and partial thickness paper loss
Tears
Scotch tape or Scotch tape residue
Marks that cannot be ignored
Major ragged border trimming
(55)
2 - Major or Minor Creasing without paper loss. Rounded corners. True beaters that do not meet the stringent criteria required for a 1 rating.
(110)
3 - Cards that almost look VG, with either a small wrinkle or minimal paper loss or corner fraying.
(33)
4 - Cards that would probably grade VG
(6)
5 - Cards that have actually been graded in the 3-5 range.
(3)
6 - Cards that have graded at the ExMt (6) or better level.
(1)
I am pleased to report that the average grade of this set is less than 2 currently, but as you can see, there are 43 outliers at the higher end of the grading scale that should be
downgraded.
A list of the cards that require downgrading will be forthcoming.
