Sent this one as a crossover. It was in a 9.5 GAI holder. Would have loved a 9 but a 10 is even better. Will be huge for my set registry once this card is added.

    Holy cow, it actually crossed over in the GAI 9.5 holder? I think that may be the very first one I've heard of or seen. I've had several on a crack and resubmit make it but never played the crossover-in-holder game.

    Congrats on a great addition!

    Well I didn't want to take a chance and crack it only to have it come back an 8. As I said a 9 would have been great but the 10 is awesome. At worse it would have stayed in the GAI holder. The funny story behind the card is how I got it. Steve Taft had it up months ago at the Beckett marketplace but it was raw and he was asking $15.00. I asked for a better scan and for some reason the background looked odd to me. He said it looked fine to him and that he was going to submit it himself. So fast forward to about a month ago when the card is back up for sale in the GAI holder for $50.00. So I could have had it for $35.00 less but it all worked out in the end. I have the only two graded as of now with the other one being a 7. I was battling D.Bryant on the registry but once they add this card it will move me to number one. I wish him luck tracking down another 10. image

    Nice job!

    I honestly think it's a LOT easier to cross a low value card over, as opposed to one worth some loot. It's almost like PSA says, "Ah, screw it, it's not worth a lot, so just make the submitter happy."
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
