PSA vs GAI

[Archive]

Scott, I hear you. But usually it's difficult to disccern a trimmed card from a scan on an ebay auction as you can't measure the cards online. All things being equal, therefore, I would obviously never bid on a PSA (or SGC) slabbed card that looks suspicious. And I buy whatever I need or want, regardless of whether the card is in a PSA or SGC holder. I just note that the PSA cards sell for more. And though I'm a collector and not a seller, I still want to buy at a decent value if possible. At some point probably after I'm in the ground, one of my ungrateful offspring of my offspring of my offspring will probably sell my cards to Kit Young's distant relative for peanuts...
