The below metallic labels shown here is from their old, reliable days. GAI autograph LOAs with Mike Gutierrez's name on it are also from their earlier, reliable days.

The problem I think is that they were still using those metallic flips when they went bad, that is, started doing favors for people (IMO). Cards that say first graded are usually fine. But it's a crap shoot I don't think you can tell from the cert if it's early GAI or not, maybe I'm wrong.

I have a GAI 2 graded T206 Bresnahan Portrait I got pretty cheap. The card wouldn't grade a 2 anywhere else IMHO, but I wanted a GAI card holder just for fun and its labelled 1st graded so Ill keep it in the slab.

It's not that I'm too lazy to re-grade them... it's more that I care lots more about the card than the inconsequential slab. I would rather judge the card to my standards than have a stranger do it. I suppose that when it comes time to sell, I should consider re-grading, but am not sure it's really worth the cost of doing so. Instead of coughing up the money to an entity I dislike, I might rather just crack the cards out, and sell them as raw through Greg Morris. |

I was mostly referring to myself. I have one GAI graded card, a VG common. I keep it that way for similar reasons to yours, It's pretty easy to tell it's a real T206, and it's also pretty much a classic VG card. I also keep it in the slab as an example of a GAI card. Similar to why I keep an Acugrade card in its slab, there aren't many around. (It's also almost certainly not a 7 as I believe it's trimmed) |

Imagine that, a trimmed card in an ASA holder.
