How are the Overall Grades Determined?

- The overall grade can be determined in 3 different ways.

*Scenario one: A card's overall grade will be 0.5 higher than the lowest subgrade.
*Example- Centering: 8.5, Surface: 9, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 10 
* This card's overall grade will be a 9, which is 0.5 higher than it's lowest subgrade (centering of 8.5).

*Scenario two: A card's overall grade will be 1 whole point higher than the lowest subgrade, IF the difference between the next lowest subgrade is 1.5 or more (cutoff is 7.5 as the lowest subgrade).

*Example- Centering: 9, Surface: 6, Corners: 7.5, Edges: 8
* This card's overall grade will be a 7, which is 1 whole point higher than it's lowest subgrade (surface of 6).

*Scenario three: If a card's two lowest subgrades match, that subgrade becomes the overall grade.
*Example- Centering: 9, Surface: 9.5, Corners: 9, Edges: 9.5
* This card's overall grade will be a 9, because the two lowest subgrades match (Centering and Corners of 9).
