Overall Grade
0

6 posts in this topic

Hey CSG!

Just got back my first sub. Awesome slabs! I have a question about one of my card's overall grade. One of my cards has the following subgrades:

  • Centering: 9.5
  • Corners: 8.5
  • Edges: 8.5
  • Surface: 9.5
  • It also had an auto which graded a 10

The overall grade is an 8.5. When I add up the subgrades I get 36, divided by the number of subgrades (4) I get 36 / 4 = 9. Is there a rule at play here preventing the card from getting an overall grade of a 9 in this circumstance? 

Thanks!

The overall grade is not an average of the 4 subgrades. There is an algorithm used to calculate the overall grade Some subs weigh more than others. In your cards case, an overall 8.5 is the correct grade.

This is from the FAQ page about subgrades

"...if the two lowest sub-grades are the same, then that is the final grade for the card."

Thanks y'all! I even read the FAQs but totally missed that part.
