This thread will quickly show new folks that Gem Mint is not pristine - and even pristine is not pristine. Don't waste money on a PSA 10, BGS 9.5/10 case if the card doesn't match. We all have seen cards cross from one service to another, which shows that grading has some subjectivity and has not reached acceptable standards.
The price craze for a PSA 10 and BGS 10 baffles my mind. Imagine if somebody perfects AI to the point that renders grades prior to AI obsolete... Wasted money.
