So which does better on ebay? I know this is not statistically sound, and the seller of the GAI-graded card has awful feedback.

These examples are always interesting. That SCD card has been on there a while. The fact that the SCD card spams PSA in the title helps their cause. How has SCD been doing on ebay?

I'm just waiting for someone to say that the
GAI card is more attractive. But it won't be
me, that's not manly.

Without appologies, I regularly use 'attractive' as a description for baseball memorabilia, and have likely even used 'pretty.' I draw the line at 'hottie.' In fact, I try to avoid the word 'hottie' at any point during my day.

The color of the GAI is better, but that may just be photography.

2500+ rating and 33 negatives - that's aweful feedback to you? Anything in that 1-2% range is OK by me...

Then you have lower standards than most of us here. personally, anything over 1% neg is reprehensible. The 2% slack they give Powersellers is sad. They would probably lose 10% or more of their vaunted Powersellers if they lowered the neg tolerance to 1%.

Go talk to anyone running a major corporation and ask them if 2% negative response would be tolerable.

the word "awful" refers to something "not good", as in "very very not good".

Notice that Cobb's name is slightly cut off at the bottom and the bottom of the letters and the comma is visible on the top border. For my money, the GAI card is the better card.

I haven't really paid any attention to the lesser lights like SCD and GAI because I haven't seen very many cards from either service that I had any interest in collecting. The one GAI card I own is overgraded but I bought it for the card not the grade, so I don't care. I own no SCD cards.

As far as feedbacks go, 33 negatives out of 2500 deals is a lot, but you also should see what they are about before judging (I wish ebay allowed you to click on the negatives column and see all of the negatives for the person, so you could develop and understanding of who is complaining and what they are complaining about). If the item was something I really wanted and I could pay for it with a credit card and I could get it shipped on my Fed Ex account or with insurance, I would probably take the leap and buy it.
