Now your just being silly.

The term "gem mint" is JUST AN INDICATOR TO THE CONDITION, as I said before. The card value is in the grade.

[ricelynnevans75]

9.5 is the number assigned to designate a grade/condition of Gem Mint by BGS correct? I mean, in their own grading pages, they identify it as "Gem Mint 9.5".

NEVER ONCE HAS THE BGS GRADE COME BACK EQUAL TO, OR HIGHER THAN THE PSA GRADE. They always come back lower. Sometimes, PSA 10's come back as BGS 9's.

Is a PSA 10 Gem Mint?
Is a BGS 9.5 Gem Mint?

Seems equal to me. If you're solely hung up on the number, well good luck with that. A number alone is meaningless without an assigned definition. Would you then prefer an SGC 100 over a BGS 10?

Its been a battlefield on here for the past 12 hours. Here is my next 2 cents.

PSA would never grade this a 10. All of my PSA 10's are centered perfectly. 65/35 centering is an automatic PSA 9. I think at best this Superfractor is a 65/35 on the centering, maybe 60/40 on a good day.

BGS standards call for a 9 to be issued on centering if the centering is 55/45.

I sent this in for graded card review with a minimum BGS grade of 9.5. It came back un-cracked meaning it was a BGS 9. Off center.

Same thing happened to this card. BGS 9.

These were both PSA 10's

I'd post my (4) PSA 10's that didn't get cracked b/c of questionable authenticity edge, but I don't have a scanner.

I pretty much suck at the grading game but I'll just say on the 2001 Fleer Giants card I do see a centering issue there.

It's all heresay unless you have physical evidence.

I have physical evidence, but I don't have to give it to you. Besides, I don't have a scanner.
