Todd SchultzI agree with those who note that PSA hates to grade GAI cards. If you're convinced that it is not trimmed, crack it out and send it to PSA raw, or maybe send it to PSA with no crossover minimum.
IMO, enough people are skeptical of GAI that you might get more for it in a PSA 3 holder than its GAI 4.5 holder. The potential for trim, right, or wrong, is perceived to be higher when GAI is the grader. In fact, again whether right or wrong, some buyers will wonder why it wasn't crossed and conclude or at least suspect that there is an alteration.
If it got a 3, it would still present exceptionally well for that grade, and could draw strong interest. Since you state you have no present of selling it anyway, why not just take your chances with PSA on a resubmit?
