Matt Gledhill Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Receiving back my order from way back when, today, from maybe February. One of the cards has a 10, 9, 8.5, 8.5 for subgrades. How is the final grade only an 8.5? Shouldn't this be atleast a 9? Pretty pissed that a pack pulled what looked like a perfect card comes back with two 8.5's to start but to only receive an 8.5 final grade after waiting 4 months for it.

Pretty pissed that a pack pulled what looked like a perfect card comes back with two 8.5's to start but to only receive an 8.5 final grade after waiting 4 months for it. CSG has developed a proprietary algorithm to determine a card’s final grade based on its sub-grades. While we can’t reveal how we arrive at a final grade and sub-grades for a specific card, we can share some guidelines. First, it is important to note that the final grade is not simply an average of the sub-grades. Rather, it is based on numerous rules that are built into CSG’s proprietary systems and grading process. For example, the final grade can be no more than 1 point higher than the lowest sub-grade. In addition, if the two lowest sub-grades are the same, then that is the final grade for the card. For more information on CSG’s grades, including detailed explanations for each grade and sub-grade, see the CSG Grading Scale. https://www.csgcards.com/card-grading/grading-scale/ MountainG, PunsRTonsOfFun and steveinthecity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
