Gem Mint

The highest practical grade a card can receive from a grading company — PSA 10, BGS 9.5, CGC 10, or SGC 10. A Gem Mint card has virtually perfect centering, sharp corners, clean edges, and a flawless surface. Achieving this grade significantly increases a card's value, often by multiples compared to the next grade down. Not every card submitted will grade Gem Mint, making these examples highly prized.
