Grading considerations

Sapphire Autographs, image variations and the Red Sapphire /5 and Padparadscha 1/1 parallels are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. The reflective Sapphire surface shows fingerprints, print lines and light scratches clearly, so check cards under direct light before submitting. See our grading scale.
