65/35 centering

How 65/35 grades

The best grade each company allows when 65/35 is the card's worse axis.

Company	On the front	On the back
PSA	PSA 9 (inside the range)	PSA 10
BGS subgrade	8	9
CGC	CGC 8	CGC Gem Mint 10

BGS front subgrades here assume the other axis is well centered, since BGS judges both axes together. CGC doesn't publish back limits below a 9.

Measure your card
