I was just about to post that it looks fine to me. Glad the buyer didn't get ripped off.

It was obviously a real card just from the Gai slab photo. The real question was, was it trimmed? And psa thinks not.

Cool video, Neal, thanks.

I am guessing the buyer is the same Jamie on Net54 who owned that amazing red portrait Cobb back run?

Funny story, I literally just received two T206s a couple days ago in the exact GAI slabs they are talking about. The slab just pops right open. I’m a newer collector so I’m nowhere close to being an expert but as far as I can tell (and smell) the cards are real and I’m not real sure why someone would try and fake a $50 t206 common so I guess I’m just confused as to why someone would go through all of the trouble to put a real card in a fake slab. Maybe to portray it as a higher grade than what it really is? But again, these cards are commons that I bought for $50 each so I’m just not understanding I guess.
