Grading considerations

Confirm the parallel by its color and serial number before grading. Chromium and foil surfaces show print lines, scratches and fingerprints under angled light, so check the surface first, then corners, edges and centering on both sides. On autographs, check the signature for smudges, fading and skips. On memorabilia cards, check the window edges and the swatch for lifting.
