Default What is a pre-grade service?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

For $5 GAI will preview (or pre-grade) a card.

I take advantage of this service of theirs at the Philly Show as it is a fast and
cheap way of having a pretty accurate idea of (1) if your card is "gradable"; and,
(2) what grade you can expect.

In all my cases, if I go ahead and have the previewed card finally graded, they
will give it a grade equal to, or occasionally better than the pregrade #.

The additional fee (ontop of the $5) for the final graded card is $10 by GAI.

Or, you can submit this pregraded card to PSA or SGC (but I wouldn't suggest you
tell them what the GAI preview was).
