Why is this card in a GAI holder ?
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=58252
So, what prevented this card from eventually getting into a PSA or SGC holder ? I highly doubt it was from lack of trying. Looking forward to reading some expert opinions. Thanks, Justin |

The card looks good. I'm guessing it's a min grade issue with the light seam through the middl, marks, and stains on the back.

i have been thinking the same thing.... even if it grades authentic, it still is a nice looking card.

"Several moderate to heavy creases are present across the card front and would cause us to grade this card more conservatively despite a superior appearance."
would probably grade a 1.5 at best with PSA or SGC. maybe a 2. |

The folks at REA also seem to think it is over graded: "Several moderate to heavy creases are present across the card front and would cause us to grade this card more conservatively despite a superior appearance." I would suspect the consignor thinks it will do better in a GAI 3 then a PSA or SGC 1.5 or worse.

Red ink on the back might also get it a MK qualifier in a PSA holder. I'd guess a FAIR 1.5 MK.

Bottom border looks messed with to me.

Probably right, but there is also something going on in the top and bottom border as well (on second look, maybe what I'm seeing is just a shadow) so no guarantee that it won't come back a 1 or A. In that case, the GAI 3 looks like an even better option, especially if REA pushes the grading fee to the consignor. Depending on company used, the grading fee alone for this card is going to be $500-$1k.

With all the expert graders on here, I think you should all apply for a job with a grading company. Grading from a picture is nonsense.

He is overqualified. I am always leery of cards in GAI holders.

Me too Leon. I recently broke out a 1952 Bowman Musial and got an even cross into PSA. I guess you have to be the judge yourself of the card in the holder. And willing to roll the dice. IMHO, it HAS to be cracked out. I would never attempt a crossover in their case.

Thanks for all the responses. I placed a bid in extended bidding, but didn’t come out on top.

My Lajoie just loves his little holder along with a few of his friends - Baker graded these way way back. GAI was good when they first started.
