Crossing over cards from GAI to SGC
Probably should have submitted them raw but here's the tally (a lot of collectors wonder about GAI grading and how it holds up against SGC):
24 E94s submitted. 4 received the same grades, 12 received a half a grade lower (4.5 to an SGC 50, etc.), 5 received a grade lower (4 to a 40, etc.), 2 received a grade and a half lower (2.5 to a 20, etc.) and 1 went from a 4.5 to a 30 (gulp) a whole 2.5 grades lower. Just thought I'd share this for whatever it is worth. |

At least no cards went to Authentic or trimmed/altered...

Yes, I told them not to crack them out any which were going to get an authentic grade which had a GAI number grade. I was a little disappointed that the grades like 3.5 and 2.5 were routinely and consistently downgraded to the next grade. Taking in to account that SGC is brutal on caramel card grading I expected as much, I guess, but some of the cards were really sharp and I felt like GAI had undergraded some of them but I guess we all have felt like that when submitting, from time to time.
There just seems to be a stigma right now (with collectors) on the older graded GAI cards from when Baker was grading, I don't know why, so I plan on crossing over more in the future from my T210 set. Last edited by tbob; 04-14-2011 at 10:50 AM. |

thanks
Thanks for interesting results.
Agree, amazed none deemed trimmed. Back when, I sent in a GAI lot to PSA for crossover - every single one of them came back "trimmed". Come on folks - all of them ?!?! I honestly think PSA are unethical sob's with GAI crossovers. Kudos to SGC for being honest - may not like the results, but if compared against comparable, you would probably have to agree. |

bob
i know there were some disappointments but i have to say with all of the negativities we've felt toward gai, you actually did better with the grades than I would've thought. So,in large part, i must offer a congratulations with
a touch of empathy as i still have a number of the old gai's sitting in the safe. all the best, ole friend barry |

Bob, last week I submitted my last GAI to SGC for crossover: 5.5 to a 3 as well.

I thought that SGC 20 was the equivalent of a 1.5?
Either way, sorry to hear of your disappointment but very much appreciate your sharing these results.
