A 10 is a 10 right?

It looks like on ebay people are charging more for the new BGS 10 black label....is this happening or am i mistaken? who cares about the label, its the card you pay for right?

    The BGS Black Label is a SUPER 10. Next up is the solid gold label making the card a 10.5 out of 10.

    the label matters. I will more for a mickey mantle psa 10 than a mickey mantle psa 9, everyday. I would pay more for a 2003 Lebron BGS black label than a bgs 10 lebron, everyday

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    I think we're overlooking Graded Rookies Authenticated 10s. Those are the industry standard.

    BGS should just go to 11.

    'Black Label BGS graded ' though has had proven situations where there was one single unnoticed defect, but still given that grade:

    You can submit any cards from this set and they all will be graded as 11:

    BGS 10 can have a 9.5 subgrade
    They started doing the Black Label to distinguish having all 10 subgrades
    Clearly more pristinerer ha

    Agree with this. I believe a BGS 10 gold label may have 2 9.5 sub-grades (please correct me if I'm wrong). This card would be pristine. A black label BGS 10 has all 10 sub-grades, which some would maybe equate to a perfect card.

    In theory, there would be a minuscule percentage of perfect cards, even while pristine cards are quite rare, hence the premium.

    I believe if it has one 9.5 and three 10s then it's a gold label 10. Quad 10s equals black label.

    It's the same for modern Hockey which I just can't wrap my head around. A Connor McDavid Young Guns in PSA 10 sells for about $350. A BGS 10 for around $1300. The last 3 black label 10s went for $18k , $17k, and $12k.
