I think i'd like to own that card in a SGC or PSA holder. I looked at a bunch of GAI cards at the national in Chicago this year and i hate the holder and the black on silver tag. I know of a few people that like GAI but there not for me.

Does anyone think the cut on the bottom is a bit strange? Look closely.

MW -- the bottom cut certainly looks suspicious -- and the top/bottom edges don't appear parallel (bottom slants up). Before I got to your last post, I had focused on the left edge -- looks too clean to me -- especially given the top-left corner quality.
I do, however, love t205's -- man, they are pretty.

P.S. BTW, the seller is mwcards -- is that you (just kidding!)

That bottom edge certainly looks off to me-- even looks like the holder's insert had to be adapted for the card to fit.
Generally, I have no problems with Mike Wheat's cards, but for the size of coin this card would command, I'd want some assurance of a refund if I was dissatisfied.

Their black insert is snugger (is that a word) than SGC's. Third, whoever graded this copy 
had a much better look at it and has more than likely graded more of these than most of us have ever seen...Michael may be exempt as he has handled quite a few. You can love or hate GAI, PSA, DDQ, RSVP, or BYOB, but if the inference here is that the card is trimmed or altered in some way--at this point it sounds like a witch hunt. The card is probably legitimate--not for sure, but nothing that's purchased ALREADY slabbed ever is...regardless of who slabbed it. Just a fact of third party authentication--and no one is exempt of that.
