Grading considerations

Fernando Tatis Jr. Chrome Prospects and Chrome Prospect Autograph refractors are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. Chrome surfaces pick up scratches and print lines, and Shimmer and Mojo patterns can hide light surface flaws, so check them at an angle. See our pricing.
