A Pristine 10 is a virtually flawless telephone card to the naked eye. The edges and corners are free of wear and white spots. The telephone card perfectly retains its original color and gloss, with a clear and fully centered print pattern. On the reverse, the card’s magnetic powder is evenly distributed, the text is fully centered and there is no trace of topping up. Both the front and the back of the telephone card have no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification.

A Gem Mint 10 card is a card that has received a 10 grade overall; however, one of the grading criteria does not meet the requirements of a Pristine 10. The edges and corners are free of wear and white spots. The telephone card perfectly retains its original color and gloss with clear and fully centered printed pattern.

Most telephone cards have the same defects as those that receive grades of 1. However, the degree of defects could be even more severe, resulting in a nearly complete loss of their visual aesthetics. Cards of this level of defects will receive a non-numeric grade.
For a non-numeric grade, the surface of the telephone card may have missing contents, nearly broken creases or severe discoloration and stains, making it difficult to identify the actual contents of the card. There may also be obvious warping or other serious defects. Additionally, telephone cards that have been tampered with — either intentionally or otherwise — will receive a non-numeric grade.
