First version GAI label.

2002 was very early in the GAI era and Mike Baker would have definitely been involved in the final grading process for this card at that time.

I would say there is a 50/50 chance the card is legitimate and not trimmed based on this information but again the fee to try and cross it over would be high and I still don't think they would risk crossing it.

You might talk to one of the big auction houses like Heritage, REA, or another of the big players and see if they can get it looked at for a cross over without charging a huge fee back to you if it does not cross.

The other option would be to consign it as is with one of the auction houses that use reserves and see if you can get a reasonable price for it. I'm guessing in 2018 you got into it in this holder at a good price.

Again, if you are not looking to sell it, I would just leave it in the current holder.

Good luck with it.
