RhysOK, for the record I meant slipping some money under the table for a tip on the dinner then.
I have never tried to claim GAI is better, or try to claim their cards sell for more or should sell for more. I dont really even care what graded cards sell for in any avenue because I dont collect them and dont rarely end up selling them. I am simply stating that other companies take jabs at GAI when they can to try and lessen their competition in the business world. I like GAI and will continue to use them, but I know why others dont and that is fine. I just wanted to point a few things out about why you are likely to not get a crossover grade from another company in a GAI holder.
Also, my points about card grading holds true for autograph authentication as well. Companies love deeming their competitors certified pieces as fake when they get a chance. It is simple economics and GAI is the new guy on the block. Maybe they deserve some lumps and I am certainly not an apologist for them so if they deserve to be called out than so be it, but I get the impression they are getting more than their deserving share from the actions of the other companies.
