    If you think THAT'S bad, you ought to see their holders for large items--they look like a flimsy holder for license plates--seriously!!

    I agree with aloof. I seriously doubt this is a real GAI holder/slab.
    Anything larger than normal size cards, packs, or cards thicker than 75pt stock will be holdered in those ugly plastic pack style holders.
    The flip on this thing looks like it's on the outside of the screwdown holder. That is just damn ugly!

    I'm no expert but this card holder screams out that its a fake.

    don't think it is fake, just a really bad excuse for a holder used by gai for a card that is a wierd size. link to the ebay auction it is in

    It looks like something that might have been graded on-site at a show. I agree that it looks pretty damn bad, but it's probably legit.
