+1...As a matter of fact, their cards initially were selling for more than comparable PSA cards. However, that was in the initial stages of the company. This young card in my opinion is definitely trimmed....

I remember those days, the prices on Ebay used to be a little higher for the original GAIs when they first started showing up. Good memory

I agree. Now that I look at it again, it for sure looks trimmed. Ohhh yes shill bidder galore.

I have never bought a gia card, i always stay clear.
Being slabed by gia makes me not want it.

The chances of someone owning a legitimate 8.5 graded HOF player in a GAI slab and not trying to cross it to SGC/PSA are zero.

The chances of any card selling in a Probstein or PWCC auction which does not contain numerous underbidders who bid primarily in their auctions (i.e. shills) are close to zero.

Add those two issues together and you have a full-fledged disaster on your hands.
