Our grading scale is based on a standardized point or percentage system that translates performance into letter grades (e.g., A, B, C). Each grade corresponds to a specific range of scores, providing a clear benchmark for evaluating student achievement and ensuring consistency across assessments.
Cards in grades 6-7 have visible imperfections but still look nice and have good durability. Grade 6 cards have roundish corners, a couple of minor scratches on the surface, and passable centering. Those in grade 7 have sharp angles with barely any traces of wear, and the centering and alignment are close to perfect. Overall, these are decent middle-of-the-road alternatives for a collector who looks for a nice item without breaking the bank.
There are slight imperfections characteristic of an 8-grade card, such as light whitening of the corners and small scratches on the surface. However, even with these elements, the card remains very charismatic and retains its appeal. The focus is attractive, and the color palette is bright. Near Mint cards are worthy of your attention and quality shots.
