Looks like a new BGS grading scale is coming. Picture supposedly from their booth at the Mint Collective event. ![BGS Booth](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/1/e/1e0ce33d41bca7eff7538587c72bed7c3e0c9bfa.jpeg) ![IMG_1530](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/e/d/edc8b806d5efde402db4d1b046743d0ce59e1b6e.jpeg) [https://www.instagram.com/p/CqeJuD-vPMC/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=](https://www.instagram.com/p/CqeJuD-vPMC/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) * * * They have since decided not to go through with this change ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/d/9/d955cdc4537c4aac4dc571890b409618bdda14db.jpeg) ---

Trying to save themselves from oblivion. Why am I not surprised. Would love to see all the details though it’s interesting. ---

Yeah I saw this picture earlier, thought it might be an April fools joke. I just can’t see a way they could/would do this. ---

🤷‍♂️ It may just be an April Fools like @joetehman said. I haven’t found any other announcements, just that image floating around. Which seems suspect, honestly. ---

They’ve probably painted themselves into several corners. Bringing a gem mint 9.5 to a gem mint 10 fight didn’t work out, removing the gem mint descriptor from the 9.5 certainly wouldn’t work out, keeping things as they are didn’t work out either. Rocks and hard places. ---
