First graded can be misleading since they had a first graded for every card for each grade level. In the early days, when they were considered reliable, they saw much fewer cards than they did after they were considered less reliable. The lack of submissions is what caused them to become less reliable.
If a card is still in a GAI holder, after all of this time, it suggests it is at the very least over graded but possibly altered.
