How to read this board
A card's published gem rate counts every copy ever submitted, including the hand-picked early ones. Nobody sends a beaten-up binder copy of a six-year-old card, so that figure drifts upward with age and flatters what a submitter gets today. Across the measured cards the recent rate is lower than the lifetime rate 72% of the time.
Only cards with enough recent submissions to measure directly appear here. Cards where we would have to infer the rate from age are excluded rather than ranked on an assumption.
This is what recent submissions of this card have been coming back as. Condition is a property of the individual copy — a well-centred one beats the base rate and a soft-cornered one does not.
Every row carries the number of submissions it was measured over. A rate off 30 slabs moves several points on a single submission; one off 900 does not.
