Grading Scale
OCE Grading uses a highly accurate 10 point grading scale (1-10). Cards which exhibit high-end qualities within each particular grade may receive a half-point grade increase (eg. 9.5). To determine the final grade of a card we assign it four subgrades: surface, centering, corners and edges. These four subgrades are then used in our algorithm to calculate a cards final grade.
​
OCE Grading uses 3 different labels to distinguish between overall grades. Gold (for cards graded 10), Silver (for cards graded between 7.5 and 9.5) and Ivory (for cards graded between 1 and 7).
Below are OCE Gradings standards for each subgrade:
SUBGRADE: 10 PRISTINE
SUBGRADE: 9 MINT
SUBGRADE: 8 NEAR MINT - MINT
SUBGRADE: 7 NEAR MINT
SUBGRADE: 6 EXCELLENT - NEAR MINT
SUBGRADE: 5 EXCELLENT
SUBGRADE: 4 VERY GOOD - EXCELLENT
SUBGRADE: 3 VERY GOOD
SUBGRADE: 2 GOOD
SUBGRADE: 1 POOR
