What does a GEM MINT grade do for an extremely rare card (Jeter)?

[BBCgalaxee]

Customer just got this back.

There's only two graded, this one and an 8.5

An extremely rare card to start with so what does the grade do?

Normally I don't think it helps too much but a rare Jeter and big money gem collectors can throw logic out the window as this might actually add to the "gotta have it" mentality. It's a beautiful card

 

[ASTROBURN]

Adds a few hundred when listed on ebay

 

[Lancemountain]

It also is an eBay 1/1 L@@k

I've asked this many times over. IMO it's like who gives a shiiiit. To answer your question though, it probably does a lot.

Does more for a "rare" card than for a 1/1

It adds a piece of mind that it is protected. I don't think that monetarily it adds a whole bunch.

If it was a PSA 10 it would help it a whole lot more than BGS 9.5. Jeter collectors are nuts to begin with, add in the fact that its seems like a competition between collectors to have the best Jeter Registry on PSA website and it can help a ton. Just check out some sales of base cards that are graded PSA 10 with low pop reports. Its kinda crazy.
