Damian Werner told me a couple years ago Mike Baker was still their head grader. Damian could have been full of it though as the company has been run out of his house for the last few years.

From personal experience even the cards with first graded can be garbage. Not sure about the # anymore but from memory I think any # after 10300000 has a huge chance of being garbage and any card in the Global Authority slab is buyer beware.

Let's be honest here, there's problems with ALL grading companies....
And card grading in general.

I don't think about GAI so I don't get angry again. Bad experiences.

My experience with GIA is that it's a little harder to break the cards out of them than it is with SGC.

A BIG +1 It took several emails and phone calls just to get my cards back. I paid the grading charges and got my cards back raw(good thing) several months later on a 5 or 10 day service.
