I know that Beckett has a rule where a card cannot grade any more than 0.5 above it’s lowest sub grade. Just wondering how PSA deals with this situation? Because I have an ungraded crystal charizard with an almost flawless front, but the back of the card has faded edges all the way round. Can’t decide whether to send it to PSA or not because it’s a perfect binder candidate. Thanks!
The faded edges will take precedent over a flawless front, there are specific condition parameters that have a maximum possible grade i.e. bends will grade no higher than PSA 6. If you uploaded some pics of the faded edges it might be easier to access the grade.

@shizzlemetimbers Ah interesting, thanks for that info. I’ll upload some images when I get home, I appreciate you taking the time to look 
@shizzlemetimbers Here’s a pic:
Looks like a PSA 5-6 to me (assuming the front isn’t significantly worse than the back).
@mimighster, difficult to be exact without seeing it in person but I am confident this card would grade low perhaps 6 and under
@kpod The front is really nice. But ignoring my example, I was just wondering what PSA would do if in theory you had a PSA 10 worthy front but the back was in poor condition like mine.
@shizzlemetimbers Thanks Shizzle. Will probably leave it ungraded then.

They’ll always use the lowest denominator when assigning a grade
