|  GAI original flips 
			
			What did the original GAI flips look like when they first came out? I'm possibly doing a deal/trade on a very high dollar card and hoping it was graded in GAI's infancy. They were silver/black correct? Not White/black... Any help would be greatly appreciated....

			if someone could post how ISA flips changed over the years, that would be helpful too.

			Kevin, here's one that I owned for years. I crossed it to PSA a few years ago without a problem.

			They kept that flip for many years as I recall, well into the period they became less reliable.  I wouldn't go by the flip.

			My only one that I purchased last year. At that time I had heard about GAI but someone on here, (forget now?) told me this was also an older flip and with the player and value, I likely had nothing to worry about. Imo, it is a decent looking card for the grade. (lower left, Wally Westlake.)

			The back of the label tells a lot as well. I believe the early labels are slightly different on the back.

			Here's what the back of an early label looks like.
