I think the human eye can distinguish between PSA/SGC/Beckett Mint (9/96/9) and Gem Mint (10/98/9.5), but can anyone tell me how to distinguish Gem Mint from Pristine (??/100/10)? The fact that SGC and BGS even have a Pristine grade would lead us to believe that there are flaws in Gem Mint cards. Now
that makes no sense Peter.
