Card Grading Is Upside Down

Posted By: JimB

Aside from a PSA 10/SGC 98 or 100, there are nuances at the different grading levels. There can be a larger degree of variance as one moves down the scale because there are a wider variety and range of defects or combination of defects which are permissable at the lower levels. Thus, in many ways it can be tougher to determine vg/ex as opposed to ex than the difference between nm/mt and mint. Grading is subjective and will always be part art/part science. Though I have had disagreements with the determinations of all the major grading services from time to time, I think the truth is that we only have a standard enough system from which to gripe about grades because they have been so consistent overall.
