Personally I have no problem with GAI. I think they are pretty consistent in their grading and will graded cards as "authentic" which might have a slight trim or color touch, thus the card can have a nice presentation in its holder. The only problem I have ever had with GAI (other than losing my 25 E98s after grading when UPS deep 6'd them) is the "floating" issue. This has been discussed before and I didn't have any floaters this time around with cards I graded at National. I know that SGC vintage cards probably go for more but if you truly buy the card for the card itself, GAI is an acceptable option.
