Ok so i sent my first order out and i just received the email saying my order has shipped. The results are........... out of 10 cards 6-9.5's and 4-9's all 10's on auto's. Will post pics when i get them back. I am now addicted!!!!

Just one question can someone explain why this got a 9? And i was worried about surface because it look like it had a dent in it.

Set Name : 2012 Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs Sepia Refractors
Player Name : Ryan Lavarnway
Date Graded : Monday, October 15, 2012
Centering Grade : 8.5
Corner Grade : 9.5
Edges Grade : 9.5
Surfaces Grade : 10.0
Autograph Grade : 10.0
Final Grade : 9.0

I'd try & get ahold of them b4 it leaves them & see if can get it corrected to the 9.5 it deserves if those are the grades

It got a 9 because a card cant get a grade any more than .5 higher than the lowest grade. Since it got an 8.5 on centering, the highest it could possibly have is 9. You got some nice grades though man. 6 gems out of 10 is great!

Thanks and Thanks for the explanation.

Yes and centering is weighted greatly in the algorithm so examples of "well I had one card get a full grade higher than its lowest grade" do not apply.

Nice submission.

Surface is generally weighted the least, so its easiest to get a 1 point bump when its the lowest subgrade.
