Mike I don't think anyone here thinks for a second you are pro-SGC or pro-GAI. When it comes to vintage cards, these two companies are the best in the business at consistent grading and also the most consistent and the toughest graders of pre-war cards. The GAI Doc White card you posted elsewhere is an abberation. I can show you many GAI 2s and 3s from my collection which look gem mint compared to that example. Until Beckett lands someone with expertise and knowledge of pre-war cards they can not be comared in the same breath with SGC and GAI when it comes to grading and I think even you'll admit that. What you may or may not admit is that PSA is now grading cards which were sold through major auction houses as trimmed or altered. That is a fact, not an opinion. If you don't believe me, do a search of the altered caramel card lot from the last Mastro auction and see how many of them are currently residing in PSA holders.
