Peter.... Yes I agree that he can't survive on the one example I gave... it was simply an example to show that there are services that need to be provided.
I'm actually hoping that somehow by having others do it, possibly PSA or SGC will adopt some of the practices. PSA is my personal choice and all my collection is PSA graded. I love the look of slabbed cards and the protection and labeling, thus this is my only choice for my 300+ skinned/severely trimmed OJs etc....

Understood it was just an example, but it may be a unique one -- there really is not much of a gap left to fill in my opinion.

Peter...
An advantage they'll have to PSA is customer service... SGC will always be the best though for customer service. In terms of fees, some hate joining PSA and/or paying their fees. No membership and $6 a card for GAI may appeal to a bunch.

Just want to clarify that BVG has graded and will continue to grade these cards for over a decade. They would go into "Authentic-Altered" holders.

It looks like a step backwards. As mentioned previously, the lack of a black matte reduces the eye appeal. I do however like the way GAI placed the labels on the top edge of the card. I'm assuming that hasn't changed. If GAI were smart they would provide a service that PSA or SGC hasn't. They would create the ALT identifier. ALT would indicate ALTERED. That way they could get away with slabbing rebacked OJs and not have to worry about people stating that they are doing something that SGC and PSA wouldn't do (slab rebacked OJs with the AUTH identifier).
I hope one of those grading companies figures this out and creates this new categorey.

To reiterate... BVG distinguishes between "Authentic" and "Altered". "Authentic" indicates an untampered original card that is usually not assigned a numerical grade at the submitter's request, whereas an "Authentic-Altered" grade indicates a card that is real, but somehow doctored.

My understanding is the new Global Authority continues to have pack grading. While this isn't a new grade (it is GAIs old label), does anyone know who grades this stuff?
http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-19-Sweet-Ca...3A1%7C294%3A50 While dating cigarette packs can be difficult at times, it's pretty obvious that a Sweet Caporal soft pack in celophane cannot possibly date from 1909-1919. How did GAI even come up with this date range? A single tax stamp wasn't even used during this date range!
