What is a "True Gem"?

powejr01 · 04-23-2018, 09:20 AM

Hi everyone - been seeing people throwing around the term "true gem" for certain BGS cards. What does this mean? Is there a premium for these?

Thanks!

all 9.5's...
Or 9.5/9.5/9.5/10

Premium depends on certain players.

And welcome to BO.

Got it - thanks! I knew someone would pay a premium for 9.5+ subs, but didn't know there was a name for it.
