Why is everyone steering clear of this for $225?

    GAI in any flip - old, new or future flip - is a huge gamble. I believe the average ebay buyer has caught onto them. not quite in the gem/pro class (yet) but a BIG step down from psa/sgc.

    I think the seller needs a better scan, not the sharpest image.

    Exactly.

    The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.

    You're better off buying a PSA 8 for close to the same money.

    Before the debacle with the GAI Ruth, I was hesitant to purchase any GAI card. After the debacle with the GAI Ruth, I will never purchase any GAI card.

    I personally (when I begin to do early 70s and then 60s sets) absoultely refuse to take any chances. I get PSA 7 HOFers/checklists for 70-72 and then PSA 6 HOFers/checklists for 1960s. Why take chances on trimmed/forged/counterfiet raw cards or no name grader cards when you don't have to?

    Well, the set registry would be one reason...also, many collectors are not content with dinged cards, even if they are PSA graded.
