I know I am willing to gamble a LITTLE bit on "First Graded" because the odds are higher that it was graded earlier on in GAI's run when they were still trying to fix what they saw as PSA's problems.
I also do take advantage of the fact that sometimes people over-react to GAI holders. I picked up a trimmed Leaf Short Print in a GAI 6 holder for $30 cracked it out and sold it AS TRIMMED for $100. Guy was trying to complete a low grade set and basically needed SP's any way he could get them cheap. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to go as well for the lady in your example.
