Definitions for "Grading"
Collector send sports cards to impartial grading services such as PSA or Beckett Grading Services. These services judge the condition of the card (based on centering, coloring, condition of the edges, etc.) and issue a grade for the card which serves to standardize the trading of the card. Graded sports cards are traded on ThePit.com's exchange. eTopps "in-hand" cards are rarely submitted for grading because eTopps strives to only issue cards that are in "mint condition". eTopps cards held in portfolio are not graded because they are automatically deemed to be in "uncirculated mint" condition and can therefore be traded as commodities on the eBay Trading Floor.
