Grading considerations

Low-numbered Cracked Ice Ticket and Game Ticket Gold parallels, along with Rookie of the Year Contenders Platinum /1 cards, are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. Superstar Die-Cuts have cut edges that chip easily, so check them closely before submitting. See our grading scale.
