"each graded chip must be graded (in the blind) by four graders and then submitted to the level of ICG for formal sassignment of grade. However, prior to the four graders performing their review, chips will be submitted to lower level graders in the geographic region of where the chip is"

After they do ALL that........IF the person who sent the chip in for grading does not like the grade they got they can then break it out of the slab & re-submit it AGAIN & AGAIN until they get the grade they want. It's done all the time with baseball cards & coins & is one of the reasons slabbing is BAD for any hobby. Andy - Las Vegas
