It seems some individuals are making more mint vintage cards daily. And others are getting away with faking certain stamped backs (not referring to Holmes to Homes, they can be printed, I don't care). As for the Jeter card. It's a free America. Bless capitalism.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the Gem Mint card populations grow much from year to year, generally speaking. I'd expect that eventually -- say, 10 or 15 years from now -- there might be a few more that have been graded PSA Gem Mint. Or, maybe a couple dozen more that have been graded BGS 9.5 (and perhaps a couple BGS 10's by then, as well).
