SGC 100 vs. BGS/BVG 10 pristine

Every TPG will grade a card "Mint" with NM-MT+ corners, Beckett is just the only one with subgrades that tell you the corners are less than Mint.

Also - Beckett, in my experience, doesn't let a card grade higher than .5 over its worst attribute, which seems perfectly sensible to me.

I hope you aren't including cards in a BVG slab. Because my experience tells me they do grade at least .5 over the worst attribute.

Was not talking BVG since the thread was discussing cards graded Beckett 10 vs SGC 100 and Beckett's choice to provide subgrades. I would agree, in the case of vintage Beckett and other TPGs will grade more than .5 above the worst attribute.
