You're basically only going to see Gem mint and better grades (if there really is such a thing) with new cards and I believe SGC grades far less new cards than Beckett does. Although I know Beckett has the 4 sub grades and is overly strict in grading new cards in my experience so I imagine to get a pristine is very tough.
However, I'd think do to the volumes of new cards graded there must be much more gem mint and pristine Beckett vs. SGC. I'd guess the cumulative grades of all SGC cards vs BGS/BVG to be much lower. That's not saying SGC grades harder but they grade much more vintage, which by nature, is generally lower grade....
