As lifelong card collectors who have wrestled with the same concerns we have designed a comprehensive, easy-to-understand card grading system that gives clear answers for questions like these and dozens more. We also take ultra-high-resolution photos of the surfaces, edges, and corners of every card we grade so that full transparency is readily available for every future trade and purchase involving a card graded by Edge.
