Does GAI do a good job of finding trimmed or otherwise altered cards? Has anyone cracked a GAI card and sent it to SGC or PSA only to have it returned as altered, fake or trimmed? I know the GAI guys were the old PSA guys, but because the prices of their cards are generally lower, it makes me wonder about that or maybe GAI cards are just bargains...or maybe they grade too high. For this specific question, I'm not concerned about their grading (or overgrading), but concerned about their ability to detect a fake, an altered card or a trimmed card as compared to SGC/PSA.
