The only reason I believe this card did not get a 10 is possibly due to some tiny white spots on two of the corners as those are the only issues I can see. We have included several images and a video for you to inspect the card thoroughly to evaluate before purchase. Please feel free to message with any questions. SGC Score Meaning This card has received a score of 9.5 from SGC. Here is how SGC describes that score on their website: QUALITY - MINT+ DESCRIPTION - Is a card that at first glance appears to be Gem Mint 10 upon close inspection it may have a tiny flaw(s) that keeps it from grading GEM MT 10. Why SGC? SGC (Sportscard Guaranty Corporation) is an American company that has been authenticating and grading cards since 1998. Many consider them the #2 sports card grading company behind PSA. I prefer SGC because of their exceptional customer service, good value, consistent grading, fast turn around, strong reputation, and black "tuxedo" holders that enhance the beauty of the card. Of course everyone has their own opinion as to what company has the best looking holders but I think the black inserts make the colors of the cards really stand out. Benefits of Buying a Graded Card Authentication - Graded cards have been authenticated as genuine by a professional grading companyProtection - Professionally graded cards are sealed in a plastic slab to preserve their condition and protect from future damageQuality - Professionally graded cards differentiate higher quality cards from lower quality cards of the same type.
