early on
I submitted about 50 cards to them for grading. The submission included many N28 and N29's with some baseball as well as a few other sport N cards. Nearly half were marked with the "first graded" designation (or sumtin like that) which included about 15 of the N29's. To the best of my knowledge they were all original and untrimmed cards - and essentially properly graded. Within a couple/three years - GAI appeared to the hobby populous as unstable with regard to their mission, their consistency, and with a loss of their premier grader came a further erosion of their credibility.
I have since sold and/or re-graded whatever GAI cards I had. Some of my chronology might be off a bit but the essence of my expression remains. I would be wary of later submissions - earlier ones maybe not so much but always buyer beware with any graded card.
