PSA
- Top grades:
- Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.

One overall grade on the label. Centering weighs heavily in it.

- Half grades:
- Yes, from Fair 1.5 up to Mint+ 9.5.
Authentic (AU) for a genuine card that cannot take a number; Authentic Altered (AA) for one that was altered.

How to identify your Cedric Coward card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Cedric Coward card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
- Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
- Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
- Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
- Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.
Check Cedric Coward rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
