'81 Topps Montana RC


The Green looks too grainy and kinda neon, unlike the actual ones but could simply be a bad scan. On the other hand, bad scan or not, those borders are trimmed to the max.

    i think you mean PRO. GAI is a respected company, theyd never grade that junk

    I believe GAI graded a card with "1/1" written on it, as a "card with 1/1 written on it". That doesn't earn my respect.

    this guy is a powerseller! he knew damn well that card was trimmed, what a crock
  • dirtmonkeydirtmonkey Posts: 3,048 ✭✭
    I notified the buyer of this possibility. Hate to see people get burned like that. I just told the buyer that it is likely trimmed and that he may want to check it out to be certain...

    are you sure? ive never personally owned a GAI card, but all of the guys on the Registry forum are in general agreement that theyre a very accurate grader. ive never heard of an instance of them grading trimmed cards (i dont know whether they grade sheet-cut OPC hockey cards, BGS does- in my opinion those should be considered trimmed cards). if they have before, it was an honest mistake- they are a large respected grader, and grading trimmed cards would be more detrimental than anything

    I've seen GAI graded cards that have fake autographs and fake "1/1" written in blue ink that they graded...I'm sure they would grade that too.
