I understand that but look at that centering, it is even a bit miscut as the top left border is closer than the lower left border and its pretty far O/C so if Beckett gave it a generous 6 or 6.5 on centering the total can't be higher than .5 of the lowest grade in all 4 areas. I think its a strong 6 with any company but someone said SGC does not grade these and I suspect PSA may not either.

PS Beckett does say that in rare cases a card can grade higher than .5 of lowest grade but the other sub grades have to be in the GEM MINT stratosphere to obtain those "gifts".

This is from their site:

The overall numerical grade is not a simple average of the four report card grades. Beckett Grading Services uses an algorithm which determines the final grade using the 4 sub grades on the front label of the card holder. The lowest overall grade is the first category to observe because it is the most obvious defect, and the lowest grade is the most heavily weighted in determining the overall grade.

Example :
Centering = 9.5
Corners = 9.5
Edges = 9
Surface = 8
Final grade = 8.5


Another example :
Centering = 9.5
Corners = 9.5
Edges = 8.5
Surface = 9
Final grade = 9
