I've seen and heard that said for many, many years now from Charlie Price, Austin, and a number of others and I think the order, as I remember, is Condition, Gauge, and Grade - but there may from time to time be overriding factors that skew that order. A low condition CHE 8 gauge, or a AHE .410 in very used condition (auctioned at something like $119k) would certainly skew the order.
