No bro, i didnt ask that, but when i saw the Q/A, it was the right question whomever did, if i was buying it, i would want it crossed.

Agreed. I would want it sent directly to PSA with payment pending their verification.

If I am the seller, regardless of whether I like PSA grading, the money spent getting the card graded with PSA will more than make up the grading expense of $500. I would expect a PSA 6 to out sell a GAI 7 any day, especially a 52 Mantle. Since the seller seems to be caught up in the grade, they should cross over to BCCG or PRO and they will probably get a 10.

My big issue with a GAI grade would be to have it come back as trimmed. That would hurt.

I think buying today you would expect at least 3 grades lower for psa versus gai....and worry about not getting it graded...anyone trying to sell a card for 1000s obviously looked at the PSA route and there was a problem...

I was assuming 1-2 grades lower, but I 100% agree that if I, or anyone else was selling a card of this value, everything possible would be done to cross into a PSA or even SGC holder before selling it in a GAI.

The fact that this card is in the worst possible 3rd party grading companies holder possible should speak volumes. (I'm being facetious - but GAI is pretty piss poor).

100%. there's a reason just about any high end card is still in a gai holder...and that it's altered.

that's a beautiful card, no doubt, but unfortunately it's simply a high dollar psa/sgc "A"
