GAI was started by the well respected former head grader at PSA, Mike Baker, I think in 2002 or so but perhaps a little before. For a while they were highly regarded. Any card designated first graded is probably from their good era. Eventually, by most accounts, they started doing too many favors for people and became unreliable and declined. Long since out of business. Mike is still around running his own gold label service or whatever one would call it.

Generally, cards graded back then were judged by more relaxed standards than today.
