Understanding the GradeReport®
The GradeReport® works with annotations to make the information easy to read and effective.
On the online GradeReport® of each CCC graded card, a legend allows to understand the impact of each defect.
Legend of the GradeReport®
When analyzing your GradeReport®, there are three things to remember:
- The type of defect is more important than the quantity of annotations.
Example: A single mention "P3" will have a greater impact on the rating than dozens of mentions "R1 and "R2". - On the legend, the impacts are given as an indication and can vary.
The grading of collectibles is complex: many special cases exist. For these, the impact may be different from the one presented on the legend. - The GradeReport is not used to calculate the grades: it is used to explain the grades by locating the card's main defects.
Two GradeReports that look similar may give a different final grade depending on the visual impact or density of the defects.
The GradeReport shows you the majority of defects, but some are sometimes overlooked and not indicated (certain factory defects, etc.).
Grading of factory defects by CCC Grading
Our experts know perfectly when a defect on a card is a result of factory manufacturing.
This is because new cards (such as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh or MTG) often have factory defects such as :
- Print Lines
- D.U.I = Imperfect Factory Cut (Corners & Sides)
- Stains or printing defects
- Crease lines due to factory rollers
- Factory Silvering
At CCC Grading, we minimize the impact of all factory defects on the grading. However, they are not overlooked.
As an example, a "Pr.L" (Print Line) area only takes 0.5 points off the surface grade.
