Subgrades as justification for the overall grade

Hi Guys, I am experiencing this for quite a while now and wanted to ask you guys whether you feel like this as well.
This topic is specifically about Pristine 10 cards without subgrades. To me it feels like potential buyers need that 10/10/10/9.5 subgrades in order to be ensured that this card is really a 10 grade whereas Pristine 10 cards without subgrades feel to buyers more like “nah is this really or 10, I don`t trust this grade to 100%”

Curious for your opinions on thist opic and cheers from Hamburg!

Doesn’t matter imo since subgrades aren’t accurate anyways. No card is “truly a 10”. It just happens to be a 10 or not based on some minimum wage employees grading of that card. If you send the same card in for grading again, it will 100% get at least 1 different subgrade.

Yes, buyers will generally pay more for subgrades.

No, they don’t have any bearing on a card being a more “true” 10 in terms of actual condition.

Buy the card, not the grade. That will resolve all of your qualms.
