Curious how the spread would look. The 9 grade on Mewtwo seems to be unanimous.

This is fun! Also shows how much easier it is to just to an overall grade. Sub grades 😴

I forgot what I voted but I’m pretty sure I was way off 😂

For the carddass checklist, was it mostly the corners that knocked the grade that low?

Didn’t vote but guessed before seeing the results anyway. Got all correct except the Mewtwo (guessed 9) and didn’t do CGC because idk anything about grading scales for them. This is a fun concept! Could we add more in the future?

This is going to be the new meta for people trying to determine if they should grade their cards. They’ll post a scan of an ungraded card to see what everyone says the grade is then they’ll only submit the 9s and 10s 😂

Anyone is free to run a similar experiment. All these cards are in my PWCC vault so I just used the scans from there. I could also do it again myself in the future

I’m curious what makes people think the Mewtwo is a 9? I noticed a “scratch” on the front in the last image but for the record I don’t believe that’s on the card itself

Regarding the Mewtwo, for me it was probably mostly trying too hard to find a reason not to give a 10. I thought I could see a bit of whitening on the back edges… but looking again I would say that’s a fair 10.
