TBob"The big boys are in bed with GAI"????
I defended GAI and I am a collector first and foremost who usually sells only cards he has doubles of, through upgrades, or cards he buys in lots which aren't ones he is particularly interested in collecting. All the "big boys" I know send their cards to SGC and PSA. I claim no compensation from GAI and get treated as brutally under their grading as anyone else, but I still think they are becoming the best in the business. SGC is more consistent with their grading than PSA of caramel and tobacco cards and I think SGC is less likely to be swayed by the submittor of the cards than PSA, but I think GAI is the most fair and objective. I do agree that cards encapsulated by PSA because of their history bring more than cards graded by SGC and GAI but I think will change in the years ahead.
