It appears some collectors have a dislike for cards in GAI holders to such an extent that they veer away from the "buy the card not the holder" dictum and ignore the card. I recently had an Old Judge on ebay of a well known player, the card was a 2 and a very solid 2 but it got hammered price wise when compared to similar cards in PSA and SGC holders and even to raw OJs which looked trimmed or had back damage. I've normally received pretty good results with my cards on ebay so this one was a bit of a shock. If I had had any sense I would have ended the auction but we all deserve a nice deal from time to time and my buyer certainly got one.
I guess I hope this holds true in the future and the next time a nice e94 comes up on ebay in a GAI holder that everyone will likewise veer away and I can be the one getting the deal next time.
