Grading considerations

Chrome Prospect Autographs, especially low-numbered Orange, Red and SuperFractor parallels, are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. Chrome surfaces show refractor lines and scratches, and the die-cut variations have fragile edges. See our grading scale.
