JKJoe,
I think its fair to say that GAI handled their "move" in an entirely less than adequate or forthright fashion. I think its fair to assume that GAI doesnt know $h%t about public relations. I also think its fair to assume that GAI or the individual grader took a cut out of whatever deal they brokered with regard to the Ruth card.
However, given info provided by Dave that the card received the same grade that PSA had given the card and absolutely no evidence suggesting (1) that GAI had a corporate policy permitting its graders to sell consigned cards; or (2) that GAI stole cards from consignors and sold them out the back door; I maintain that there is no evidence to support your assumption that they would intentionally overgrade a card. Im not saying it didnt happen, Im just saying I'd want to see more before I'd make a reckless comment like that. Of course, even if you or someone else have defamed GAI with your comments, they probably lack sufficient funds to sue, so its probably all good.
