Score System
1-10 scoring system
The PC site publishes overall grade, four sub-scores, authentic-only results, rejection reasons, and special labels. More card-specific rules can later be maintained in the admin console.

Condition Standard
How APG reads a card
The final grade is not a single visual impression. It is formed by centering, corners, edges, surface, print quality, preservation, and special defects.
Measures front/back border balance. Higher grades require tighter centering, with P10 within 52/48.
Checks visible wear, dents, rounding, whitening, and magnified corner defects.
Checks edge roughness, chipping, cutting marks, whitening, and factory-cut consistency.
Checks original color, gloss, scratches, stains, registration, focus, print spots, creases, and alterations.
Centering reference by grade
Centering is evaluated together with condition defects. Passing a centering threshold alone does not guarantee the grade.
