In this episode, I break down the four major grading factors-centering, corners, edges, and surface-and explain which matter most when it comes to vintage cards. Learn why centering and surface often drive eye appeal and value, how grading standards can vary, and why two cards with the same grade can look (and sell) very differently. Whether you’re new to vintage or looking to sharpen your eye, this episode will help you understand what really matters when evaluating classic cardboard.
