Sample article for theme testing. A graded card label shows the year, set, card number, the grade and a certification number you can look up on the grader's website.
The grade
Most graders use a 1–10 scale. A 10 is the best condition the grader gives. Half grades such as 9.5 sit between whole numbers.
The certification number
Every slab has its own number. Typing it into the grader's lookup page shows the same card, grade and photos.
