Wow - 1st time seeing it for me - bet I've looked at it a dozen or more different times today.

As for grade - Im not an expert but I don't see what looks evidence of trim (normally the corner points start to look like little tits (for want of a better word) on trims that I have looked at closely. So if not trim then what might be issue - I'm guessing its obviously real - yes?

Frankly, I don't see any indications of alteration either. But think about it, why would anyone seeking to sell a card like this keep it in a GAI flip? This card in a PSA or SGC flip, even if downgraded to a 4, sells quickly and for a lot of money. But in a GAI flip, it just sits bc everyone wonders why is it still in that flip -- whats wrong with it? I have to believe that if the owner really wanted to sell this, he would have tried to cross it, and because it remains in a GAI flip, he was unsuccessful.
