This page keeps a reference summary of the APG card grading material to help users understand the differences between P10, 10, 9, and lower grade bands. APG has already incorporated the reusable condition logic into Grading Standards. Final results should follow the certificate and review conclusion issued by APG.
The APG material covers centering, corners, edges, surface, print, cutting, stains, creases, and missing areas. P10 emphasizes centering within 52/48, almost no visible flaws, clean color, and precise print registration. 10 emphasizes front centering within 55/45, back centering within 75/25, and no visible corner or surface defects. Grades 9-6 progressively allow minor wear, handling traces, print defects, cutting marks, and looser centering thresholds. Grades 5-1 correspond to more visible wear, creases, stains, writing, miscuts, and missing areas.
Any third-party label, seal, crossover value statement, or comparison with another grading institution belongs only to the original APG context and is not a APG service commitment.
