Grading considerations

Confirm the parallel by its color and serial number before grading. Paper card stock shows corner and edge wear quickly, so check the corners and edges first, then centering on both sides and the surface for print defects. On autographs, check the signature for smudges, fading and skips. On memorabilia cards, check the window edges and the swatch for lifting.
