PSA 10 Gem Mint I don't understand

Posted By: Hankron

Micheal, I wasn't saying that 'Gem Mint' is not a legitimate term, just detailing my initial impression.

Though he is not always taken seriously, I always thought Alan Rosen's definition of Mint was interesting. Rosen's definition (at the time at least) of Mint was that the card was 'as if it had just come from a pack.' As cards don't always come from packs perfectly centered, Rosen didn't have to have perfect centering. If one uses his definition of Mint, there will be different degrees or qualities of Mint.

Personally, I like the word 'perfect.' Perfect is perfect and anything less isn't perfect. To me, perfect has a sublime quality.
