would you buy gai graded cards
 

would you buy gai graded cards from the 1950's -1960's (8's and 9's)

a lot would depend on when they were graded if I could tell but most likely not

The old adage - I'd buy the card, not the holder (regardless of GAI or not)

Before they went bankrupt, GAI was right there along side PSA, SGC, and BVG. They were just as reliable imo and awhile back at a card show, a dealer had a (i can't remember the year) Clemente in a GAI 8 and wanted somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 for it. I think he ended up selling it for like 800 or so on the bay. To answer your question...I proly would.
