I suspect what was meant perhaps is that someone familiar with the other two is claiming in their opinion that the other's may have some tinsy flaw like a single dot of snow or something, where as this one is claimed literally flawless, but any such determination would be even a degree more subjective than PSA's analysis already is, since it's not like PSA has any subcategory or rating higher than Gem that they keep track of or report.

Ok, that’s what I was thinking. There was a second there where I thought I might have missed something big since returning to collecting.
