GAI all trimmed?

jofinn

I sent in three great cards into PSA to get crossed over and all three got evidence of trimming. Two were still in the GAI cases the others weren't. Anybody have any suggestions as what to do with these cards? Flush them down the toilet?

Look them over yourself to see if they're trimmed or not. If you don't think they are, crack em out and submit.

While PSA is probably right, if the cards are worth it, re-submit without the holder. There is holder bias at PSA when it comes to the crossover service.

If the GAI cards are from the early days of the company, then they might pass.

Yeah there from the earlier GAI cases. All are modern cards Including a SPX Lebron James Rookie. Its In a 9 holder I didn't really think of the card of being trimmed until I sent them In to PSA. It upset me but i do know theres trimming going on In alot of modern stuff.

If it measures correctly send it to BGS or SGC if PSA rejects it again. that's all you can do. If it measures short then you have your answer.

If you sent in 3 cards how could 2 be in the case while 'others' were not?


Hopefully you meant 'the other' In any event, simply crack the 2 out and resubmit them.


GAI has a bad history regarding slabbing trimmed cards so often PSA err's on the side of caution.

Same thing happened to me. They prolly will pass the 2nd time through.

Good luck and welcome to the boards.

I don't think It matters now. I kind of arleady will think there trimmed no matter the case. Just wanted to vent. Oh this was about a year ago I sent them in. I was on Youtube and saw somebodies James Ultimate RC. I got jealous.

I've only sent one GAI graded card to PSA, but I cracked it before I sent it in. I would never send it in the original holder in fear of bias (human nature afterall). It was an '84 Fleer Clemens graded 9.5 by GAI. It came back as a PSA 10.

Nice!

As was said already, definitely crack them and submit again.

I sent in a 1955 Spahn that was graded 7.5 at GAI and was the first graded.

I cracked it out and sent it in with my other 55's. It came back EOT.

I then resubbed it with some other cards and it came back aa a 7.

I have no idea it it was trimmed or not, it measures up with my other 55's.

I think a better question would be

why would anyone send a 9 or 10 quality Lebron RC to GAI unless it they knew it was trimmed?

No, they're not all trimmed. Just crack them out and send them in that way. Good grief.
