Check out this auction.

Hmmm....let's see, graded GAI, with an 8 in the top corner of the holder. Could it be that that's the CARD NUMBER???!!!!

    He also has a nice Magic Photos Johnson. I always wanted to get into that set.

    Makes it easier to explain why the scan is so small. Notice howmuch larger the scan of the back of the card is? image

    << <i>GAI HAS DEEMED THIS CARD AUTHENTIC AND THERE IS AN 8 IN THE CORNER. >>


    I wonder if that number was his IQ!

    It's always something with ebay.

    Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    I once had the exact same issue with a grading company even more prominent than GAI.

    I sent in a '48 Bowman Rizzuto for grading, and despite the noticable tear in the card, it came back as NM-MT with no qualifiers. Apparently, the company misread the card number for the grade.

    So what should have been a PR-FR card was sitting in my hands, and the company database, as a NM-MT. Being that I graded the card only for protection, and not for resale, I was more than happy to send the card back to be holdered properly, in exchange for a number of free gradings.

    But if I was as unscrupulous as this seller, I could have tried to get $800 for a $20 card. Good thing I have a conscience and had absolutely no intention of ever selling the card, which now properly resides in a PR-FR holder, and always will.
