Would this card be an 8.5 or a 9?

[GAbballplayer148]

I received a card that has grades of 10, 8.5, 8.5, 8.5. If I re submitted this card and got a 10, 8.5, 9, 8.5 would that still be an overall 8.5 or a 9? Thanks for any help.

Still an 8.5. In general, the card will only grade as high as the second lowest subgrade. In your case you would still have two 8.5 subgrades and that would be the overall grade to expect.

Another tidbit worth noting... The final grade is not higher than a half point above the lowest subgrade. There are rare cases when a card has a 10,10,10,8.5 and still get an overall 9.5.

Those are both better than my Arod sp that graded 8.5
