Default PSA 10's - most are overrated
Posted By: Scot Reader

PSA's GEM MINT 10 is a business construct designed to inflate the value of a small percentage of cards (and by extension the value of PSA services) beyond what should objectively be realized. It has succeeded as a business construct but fails as a logical construct.

SGC is even worse than PSA on this count. It has separate categories for GEM 98 and PRISTINE 100 which extend this artifice even further.

In my book, a card is either MINT or it is not. No grade should exist above MINT.
