% of Low Grade vs. High Grade Trading Cards

[Archive]

this is not going to read so easily, but this is from a spread sheet my friend made a few years ago for me for the T206 PSA POP. at the time they had graded 47,622 (now i think it is 80,000+...the percentages he provided show how each grade ranks...(i.e. a PSA 8 (and above) represented only 3.97% of the total T206 that PSA graded...

hope this makes some sort of sense, maybe someone else could do a better job...

1-2, 3-4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 TOTAL


6722, 19335, 5847, 3116, 3116, 1703, 175, 11 47622

84.45%, 70.33%, 29.58%, 17.11%, 10.51%, 3.97%, 0.39%, 0.02%

Numbers above indicate the percentage of each card grade PLUS the ones above it in rank.
Edited to add, this is a pretty simple math problem, and i think the easiest way to answer this question, is to analyze the PSA pops (so much easier to read than SGC)...that will give a good indication of "% of Low Grade vs. High Grade Trading Cards"...

***you can see how once you hit NM-MT, then MINT, then GEM MINT...the numbers go down exponentially...they basically fall off the map, (i.e. a PSA 9 or 10 = SUPER rare)

trying to do it from raw cards is an "exercise in futility"...as my boss would say...
