It looks like a step backwards. As mentioned previously, the lack of a black matte reduces the eye appeal. I do however like the way GAI placed the labels on the top edge of the card. I'm assuming that hasn't changed. If GAI were smart they would provide a service that PSA or SGC hasn't. They would create the ALT identifier. ALT would indicate ALTERED. That way they could get away with slabbing rebacked OJs and not have to worry about people stating that they are doing something that SGC and PSA wouldn't do (slab rebacked OJs with the AUTH identifier).
I hope one of those grading companies figures this out and creates this new categorey.
