They inspect cards for factors like centering, corners, edges, and surface quality using standardized criteria. Based on their assessment, graders assign a numerical grade or label, which significantly affects the card's value and marketability. Card graders often work for specialized grading companies and require a keen eye for detail and knowledge of industry standards.
