Pack issue in heritage auctions

[pepis]

Heritage auctions has many vintage graded packs in there upcoming auctions
some real some bogus,,
non more significant than the 2, 1973 Schmidt packs one appears to be legit
and the other is clearly a home made in a 1975 wrapper.

I'm hardly an expert on these things. I imagine Heritage will be calling GAI on Monday?

What would make you think they will call.

Hey, I bet the cards are authentic!

I always looked at GAI as a couple steps below SGC/PSA because they assigned a lot of numerical grades to trimmed cards. I always felt they did just as good a job of not slabbing reprints but boy did they slab a lot of trimmed cards. I'd never buy a GAI card that looked trimmed because it probably was, however, I'd always pay a discount on a GAI slabbed card if it looked like it wasn't altered.

Oh yeah, better add, I would hope that the auction house pulls the packs if it is brought to their attention. They can't pull something from the auction if they don't know it's bad. Also, I doubt they would have put it up for bid if they knew there was an issue with it.

You'll have to do a search about calling on a Monday.

After my personal experience with GAI/Global Authority I will not buy anything in one of there slabs.

I spoke with one of the VP's at Heritage just a few minutes ago. They are looking into the matter.
