Default What is GAI Doing?

Posted By: davidcycleback

I don't criticize a grader if their label is accurate. It isn't their job to be arbiters of taste ... Though I do wonder what is the point of having a cheapo reprint graded. Perhaps the seller used it to get GAI's bulk discount.

Besides, if eBay has taught us anything about T206 reprints, it's that to get top dollar in today's market you do not want the card in mint condition. You want the card to look like it spent a season as lining in a rat's nest. And you certainly don't want a reprint labelled a such by a reputable grader. Where's the mystery and "being sold as ungraded and unauthenticated" allure in that?
