I will say this. You always have to question in my opinion why a card of this caliber is not in a SGC or PSA holder where the seller can maximize his return. That alone would make me suspicious. i would treat this card as a SGC Authentic and pay accordingly.

Agree on this one, exactly.

I have seen a lot more trimmed cards in GAI holders that they slabbed with high grades. I am always suspicious when I see a high dollar card in a GAI case. It's not that the lower valued cards might also be trimmed but a case of why the owner wouldn't get it slabbed by SGC or PSA. I mean who wouldn't want to maximize their resale value? Unless they really really liked the look of the GAI holder.
