Most are aware of the recent changes both PSA and SGC have made in the past couple of years. However, SGC slipped one in under the radar by creating a 9.5 Mint+ grade. No, this isn't on par with Beckett's Gem Mint as SGC now has a 10 Gem Mint AND 10 Pristine. So, what the hell is Mint+???? Maybe they just need to have an 11 and call it the Spinal Tap grade.

It would be nice if TPGs focused on the other end of the spectrum and looked at adding different attributes for Authentic and possibly a 0.5 numeric grade. There's more of a case to be made when considering the immense variability between grades Authentic, Poor, Fair, and Good. Then again, these aren't in the range that drive behavior to gamble on a big score (i.e. Pristine).
