this was the 1st time I have seen them holder a pack and have the flip blank except for the contents of hte pack.
I have received ungraded packs but that was with the old flip that said "unopened and authentic" at the top, they also were noted the reason why they weren't holdered, "recolored".
I do have an email into them but they are slow to get back, i resent it yesterday after waiting a month. not the best customer service in the world
GAI will not render a grade to a wax pack or card if the customer requests so. Normally this is done on low grade cards (for example a GAI 2 Wayne Gretzky Rookie Card may be labeled "authentic" without any grade. Some collectors are not concerned with the grades of their cards and just want to authenticate a card (especially those that are prone to reprints/fakes). I once considered this "authentic" only grade on my low grade c55/56 hockey tobacco cards, but just decided to let them grade it anyway (you pay the same price).
In the case, it looks as if this was what the customer wanted. I think GAI might have made a mistake by omitting the word "authentic" from the label, but I wouldn't know for sure.
One thing is certain, GAI will not holder a card that is altered, reprinted, fake, etc., and will not holder a pack that was tampered with. gg

PackCollector,
Are you referring to your email to GAI asking why were not putting "Auithentic-Unopened" on some of the pack labels?
