Mile High Cat. & Use of GAI Proof Designation

Afternoon,
I just recieved my Mile High Card co. Catalouge and as well as noticing that they have a lot of really Nice Non Sports stuff that is seldom seen, I also have some issue with their use of Proof Card designation especially as it includes GAI designations. IE; In other words they are selling cards as Proof, and some obviously are, and others I question as to the varacity of their Proof Claim by them and GAI. As a few examples:
Item #2245 1965 Topps Battle....Their claims mention nothing from the Topps vault, IMO this is simply a printers error and by no means a Bonifide Proof Card.
Item #2248 1965 Topps Superman Card and 1966 Variant...........The rumors and stories that are told about the cards with the Captions and without the captions are as rampant as DB Cooper stories. The fact is that so many can be found with the caption missing (Thousands and thousands) that there is no way they were a test or proof, just another version.
Does anybody know why all of their Unopened Packs are GAI and nary a one from PSA? I am afraid I would't trust any of it!

Also, PSA doesn't grade tall boy packs (65 FB, 69, 70 and 76 Bball, etc) or rak packs so GAI is the only option if you want to grade those type of packs. JOhn
