I’m genuinely curious if BGS looked at their population of cards that fall into these categories. I’ve got like 500 BGS slabs, and only like 30 qualify for their new 10 Gem mint. (Some of which not worth even paying for an upgrade). So the 470 other true gem and min gems are now just mint plus?!?

Why would I pay more money to BGS to further devalue the card?? For new subs I’d have like a 5% chance at a 10, unless they just start grading easier, which hurts their millions of existing cards.

I gotta think PSA, SGC, and CSG are already thinking about special to cross over.

Just seems odd how a 9.5 final grade or sub grade was consider gem mint. Now it’s Mint plus, and the card has to be partially pristine to be a gem mint.
