GAI Crossover?

Thanks guys. All really helpful.

Here’s the eBay that actually caught my eye. Not acting on but was just
curious. Looks very sharp to me.

Could be the scan but that card is not rectangular, is it?

Looks so to me, but admittedly not the greatest at these sorts of things.

That's what I was thinking. May just be a bad photo, but the top boarder looks slanted down from right to left.

I had a couple of T206's in GAI holders that I wanted to cross over a few years ago. I sent one to PSA and one to SGC. The SGC crossed over with the same grade, the PSA 1/2 grade lower, but still a success in my opinion. Of course, this was before SGC and PSA started giving cards 2's and 3's that look like 5's and 6's!

Also, I did not crack them out before submitting, but I heard the success rate is much better if you do.

I see bat wings. That always raises red flags for me.

The cell phone pic is just awful. I am not exactly sure what shape that is and two corners look a bit off...to me. A properly scanned version of the card might provide a more favorable assessment but as I tell everyone, just buy the card in the condition or holder that ya want it in and call it a day.

Most GAI cards, like this one, have likely been seen at least once by PSA and SGC and there is a good reason it remains in the GAI holder at this time.

And as was mentioned, early GAI were spot on in their grades but being able to distinguish those is nearly impossible. First Graded designation is not 100% reliable. At least I would not rely on it.
