uhhh...i've been dealing in this business for over 15 years now (god
has it been that long?) and i've never heard of him...the other guy, mike gutierrez- isn't he the guy from PSA DNA that got fired? i'm not sure...my real problem with GAI other than MOST of their authenticators inexperieince is this... they allow their authenticators to sell their own autographs that they just get i nthe streets. and for this argument, i'll allow your mind to wander on some of the arguments that have been brought fourth by bassale in these posts... let's say an outfit that's supposed to be legit hired me (fat chance, but let's use it for argument's sake) and i continued to get autographs- and i continued to sell those autographs on ebay....but now, i am allowed to throw my GAI AUTHENTICS stamp of approval on all my items. wouldn't that cause a problem? seriously? because GAI uses 2 authenticators that have the same- and i mean THE VERY SAME REPUTATION that i've been accused of by bassale (again, reputaion, but never proven fact- not once, and the same could be true of these 2 from GAI)...wouldn't that be some sort of conflict of interest... and honestly, mike gutierrez does not even come close to the same reputation as james spence- problems aside, pretty much every one trusts spence and steve grad authentincations far more than anyone else in the hobby... and again, i've never heard of kevin keating....and why s kevin keating talking to this rchsports guy? i'm not accusing, i'm just asking...i've done some research myself to find that kevin's remarks ARE TRUE, i'm jsut askign what makes kevin an expert, what makes him the authority... a simple explaination would suffice...i'm not asking for great details, just more than "One of the worlds top autograph experts and sports collectibles experts." let's just tell me what make him this? |

my real problem was with GAI their people have even LESS experience
GAI, you mean Global Authenticated? Don't they have Mike Gutierrez working for them? Top authenticator in the business. More experience and knowledge than anyone in the hobby. ebay only endorses PSA DNA, SCD authentications, and ONLINE AUTHENTICS. Didn't SCD Authentic go out of business? I know they don't grade sportscards anymore. who is kevin keating? Anyone else not heard of Keating? One of the worlds top autograph experts and sports collectibles experts. How long have you been in the hobby? I'd be glad to share my knowledge with newcomers like yourself. |

uhhh...i've been dealing in this business for over 15 years now (god
has it been that long?) and i've never heard of him Dealing in what? Keating has written reference books on the hobby. I typed his name in the search box and came up with all kinds of info on the web.....he Keating wrote The Negro Leagues Autograph Guide, is currently finishing two additional books and has served as an agent to Baseball Hall of Fame members Warren Spahn and Edward C. “Whitey” Ford. He also owns the nation’s most comprehensive collection of Baseball and Football Hall of Fame member autographs, some of which have been displayed in The National Sports Gallery in Washington, DC. Keating has published many sports memorabilia-related articles, has provided authentication and appraising services for a number of entities including the White House, and has appeared on numerous television and radio shows as a guest expert on baseball autographs and forgeries. He has been a frequent expert witness for claimants in forgery-related matters, and he has also served as a consultant to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in their efforts to identify and prosecute suspected forgers. Keating has guest lectured at George Washington University on Jackie Robinson, and he is a member of the International Autograph Dealer’s Association (IADA), The Manuscript Society and the Universal Autograph Collector’s Club (UACC). |
