GAI Is Tainted
The word that comes to mind, Phil, is tainted. As others have already mentioned, GAI started out great with men of integrity. What I was told years ago was that as the company grew, these men had no choice but to hire more people to grade cards and unfortunately these people started giving high grades to cards of questionable integrity (doctored). If you ever do decide to sell your 1953 Bowman color set, I would recommend AT THAT TIME to crack out the GAI cards and get them graded by the TPG you used for the other cards. I believe that TPG uniformity will make a difference in the final price you get. Look at it from the point of view of the buyer. Most importantly, make certain that you have a plan for this set. My two cents. Peace.
