Greg, whatever the above comment means, it seems to be a secret between you and SGC. The rest of us haven't heard anything from SGC or GAI as to what happened. It's important, Greg, because certain scenarios are a bit more forgiveable than others.
Yes, I expect GAI to grade doctored cards, as well as reprints, which is quite posssibly why whoever submitted it to them in the first place chose GAI...could have been a card doctor who slips trimmed and doctored cards by GAI on a regular basis.
That person, whoever he/she might be, might also have been aware that SGC crosses over GAI cards without looking at them closely, so they sent the doctored card in the GAI holder to SGC so that it would fetch more.
This is just guess-work, but what else do we have? GAI and SGC don't seem to be talking.
