Default T206 unopened baseball pack

GAI either takes the submitter's word for it or they make the mistake themselves. Same outcome many times...wrong. I think over the years they have gotten better at the dating. When they first started slabbing them they did a horrible job. I was in the elevator with some GAI folks at the National (a few years ago) and asked them about the erroneuous dating of the packs and they were very nonchalant about it......Packs have to have the overstamp on the stamp, and it be readable, to properly date them ....regards

edited to add- I just looked at this pack and it's in a new holder and very wrong....I guess they haven't learned from their mistakes......what a shame...I WONDER WHO AUTHENTICATED IT AT GAI?
