I agree with this. I find it very silly that any major auction would sell a expensive card in a GAI holder.

I know not everything is bad, but I think there are more bad GAI cards then the other companies. I also think that even if the card is ok, it will likely tend to be a half grade to a full grade overgraded.

Just my opinion but I would never but a GAI card that I couldn't see in person.
