James GalloI recently bought one of the last 9 Cracker Jacks I needed on ebay. It was a GAI VG 3. Now I know that they are almost always over graded especially when crossing over to SGC.
The seller was AWESOME and when out of his way to overnight the card to me.
I get the card and in 10 seconds I realize that is has 2 yes TWO pin holes through it.
With the two holes SGC is going to hammer it and will be justified in doing so. It will likely end up in an SGC 20 holder.
I just want to point out the even though PSA makes some dumb mistakes and over grades cards, GAI is just as bad with the grading.
I can't imagine missing two pin holes and if they saw them how they could give a card with two holes a VG 3.
Here is the auction link below.

As I said the seller was totally awesome and I would not have any problems buying from him again.
As for GAI I will not do bisiness with them as this isn't the first time I have gotten killed by them.
I might buy a GAI card if I see it in person but that is about it.
I am interested to see what everyone has to say.
