Question about grading
If your sub grades are 10 centering and 8 corners , 9 edges , 9 surfaces and finally grade 8.5 . Doesn't that add up to 36 and divided by four wouldn't that be a 9 ? Please comments welcome ... I'm really confused by it ! Lol

RE: Question about grading
Some categories count for more of the overall grade.
Corners taking priority.

RE: Question about grading
It is important to note that the overall grade is not simply an average of the four subgrades. Each of these four subgrades is factored into the overall grade of the card using a complex algorithm, with the lowest subgrade being the most important factor in the formula. It is rare for a card to receive an overall grade more than 0.5 above the lowest subgrade (if that low grade is in centering or corners), or 1.0 (if the low grade is in edges or surface). Two equally low subgrades will typically hold the overall grade from receiving any bump at all.
which of the subgrades factors more is dependent on the set. some sets factor centering more, some corners, some surface

Oh Ok ... Thanks for the insight Jacoby
