That is a great question and it comes down to personal opinion. Mint is absolutely free of any flaws and the card must be perfectly centered, etc. If a card appears that way to me, I still grade it as nearmint just to be on the safe side. I have never been burned by being conservative that way. Happy bidding!
i agree and so do 99% of card sellers on here.. being safe and honest...above all else just smart ..if u dont say nm u get that one guy with a magnify glass who is ready to call u a liar lol...nice auctions btw ..good luck on it should do well :)
