Authentic GAI flip?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector

Claims these packs were slabbed Authentic due to ebays new raw wax policy. Isn't that a older flip?

What does Authentic w/no grade mean? Customer opted out of getting a grade? Cheaper?

THIS ITEM IS GRADED BY GAI A THIRD PARTY AUTHENTICATION COMPANY.
GAI HAS GRADED THESE PACKS AUTHENTIC DUE TO THE NEW POLICY ABOUT LISTING RAW PACKS.

I have been watching this one..
Authentic

I was thinking it was a cost thing.

Interesting...obviously Gai has made some type of business move trying to capitalize on Ebay's (alleged) change in pack policy.

Those are newer flips...the older ones with all silver in the label are the ones I trust the most. Recently, it seems that GAI would slab anything that is sealed, no matter how many times.

It goes

Silver (oldest)
lite Blue (one I posted)
Black corners (newest)

correct? Am I missing another?

"authentic" popped seal on an 86 fleer pack , what does that mean besides it was a bad reseal job?

silver is oldest, then black corners, then lite blue is recent...............trust none imo.......ive cracked open silver ones which were legit......ive cracked all the styles which were legit, but recently i purchased one with a silver label and it was a bad pack....so trust none of GAI's imo


and what the heck is authentic?.....someone using a authentic wrapper with a seal joB?..lol unbelivable if this is the case

Authentic and Unopened
Packs that have been altered such as recolored and restored packs that have original factory seals and have not been opened will be designated "Authentic and Unopened". These packs will not receive a grade. However, they are guaranteed to be authentic.


"restored" ?? Aside from recoloring what can you do? Rebuild the corners?

Hmm. I must of missed the black corner era. I own many silver and have many lite blue, some lite blue from 1-2 years ago.

I've been buying a few low end packs, thinking black corners was newest. oops.
