Thursday Night is Gem Mint Night for Online Selling
When a collector puts together a collection, there could be an endless list of cards they could add to their want list. Some like vintage, and some like ultra-modern and chase after the latest rookie sensations. Whatever the case, that is one of the things that makes the sports card hobby so unique and diverse - everyone has the ability to collect what they want, and the ability to obtain cards for their collections. eBay Live will be holding a Gem Mint Night on Thursday, October 9th, which will provide collectors an opportunity to take part in an event with important cards up for auction. On that note, let's discuss what Gem Mint Night means, and some details about the event.
What is Gem Mint Night?
Gem Mint Night is a event where cards are auctioned off that are either in a quality that will grade gem mint or higher, or are already graded gem mint or higher. The grades that would qualify for this would be a BGS 9.5, BGS 10, or a PSA 10. Ungraded cards can also be part of the event, if they are significant enough in quality, and also have high demand and value. In short, the cards that get included to be up for bid are truly ones that will be major parts of one's collection, and is a great opportunity for collectors around the globe.
