Let's assume "My Cool Comic #1" regularly sells for $100 in grade 9.2, $50 in 9.0 and $25 in 8.5. This tells us a 9.2 is worth twice as much as a 9.0 and four times as much as an 8.5.
Now let's assume 3 months pass with no 8.5 or 9.2 sales recorded. However, we see multiple sales of 9.0 recorded at an average sale price of $60. We can reasonably assume a 9.2 is now worth $120 (twice the value) and an 8.5 is now worth $30 (half the value).
The multipliers are simply relative values. So the scenario above would turn out the same in any of the below multiplier configurations:
Grade |

Multiplier B |
