Are these items on ebay from this seller real?

last part of this...check out this link...it's direct from nfl.com's
website with a nice HUGE ad for psa dna saying that all their
authentications come from psa dna...
http://www.nfl.com/partners/aol?http://www.nfl.com/
just scroll all the way to the bottom...i don't think i see anything
similar on anyone else's website pumping GAI...but i guess i don't have
all my facts straight.

and in fact, they are not using anyone else as far as all the other
auctions i have looked up...and last year when i was doign the same
thing through major league baseball, all their autograph items were
being authenticated by psa dna...so apparently, you are just
stupid...cause you have NONE of your fact straight...hello- it's PSA-
they are grading cards too dingleberry...in fact THEY ARE THE END ALL
BE ALL OF CARD GRADING...there is no substitute, there are MANY
copycats, but none of them are anywhere near the scale of
PSA...apparently you work for or know someone who works at GAI and
you
are welcome to your opinion, but please, back it up with SOME facts.
GAI is rubbish copycat hacks who brings in crappy autograph
collectors
and lets them tell you whether YOUR autographs look like theirs, and
they call it authenticating...goods luck getting anyone to belive
it...i think i could get some friends together and call it MOM AND
POP'S AUTHENTICATIONS and i'd be doing better business than GAI.

Do you have a link where MLB formally endorses PSA/DNA? MLB
employs
the
Arthur Andersen accounting firm to authenticate all of its formal
signing
sessions. Also, I would wager that GAI is doing more business and
authenticating more items than PSA/DNA at this point in time.
Especially
since they even authenticate unopened wax packs and other items
that
PSA
doesn't.

dude, harold "smith" what are you talking about...GAI is nowhere
near
the authentication service of psa dna- and will NEVER overtake
them...here's the main reason "PSA DNA IS ENDORSED BY MLB
BASEBALL
AND
NFL FOOTBALL." so much so that they both use PSA DNA
certifications
when you buy a signature through them..there's only 4 major
sports
and
2 of them endorse PSA DNA and one of the major sports doesn't
even
exist...
oh yeah, and one of the main authenticators for GAI sells
autographs on
his own but now uses GAI certificates...that's some kind of
conflict of
interest, what's to stop the guy from selling bad stuff and just
slapping a cert. on it. no offense, but this is about the DUMBEST
comment i've seen on here reguarding a professional
business...MOST
people have NEVER heard of GAI. Just you and a handful of
others...
in reguards to the autographs asked about on this page... Most
seem
legit. i worry about the clemens- but most of these people that
are
on
this guy's page are people that do shows and do private signings
with
the show promoters for FAR CHEAPER than the advertised show
autographed
price...sp i would say there's almost no problem dealing with
this
guy...My biggest suspect is GAI authentication service...Their
about as
big as "MIKE"S BAR AND GRILL AUTHENTICATION SERVICE" and in no
way
serves as proof of a signatures authenticity..

A seller on ebay with the username cp1525 has a lot of great
deals
and
a high rating. He also has a reliable way of certifiying the
items
with
most coming with a COA from GLOBAL AUTHENTICATION.

But how are these items so cheap? He has Pete Rose signed
pics
for
20
bucks... litho's for 200. Thoughts?

this link should work:

if not, type is his username: cp1525

Truthfully, your posts will be respected and listened to


I dont know about that......bad start

MrB.

I must be blind; I've been on several pages after that one and don't
see a thing. Apparently, if this is something they use and not just
for signings, but they back their independent services, this means
they lose credibility. Remind me not to buy from their shops

Just because something says it's official, doesn't mean it's 100%
legit. Do some background work first.... go directly to the NFL and
ask them the legitimacy. They've got bad feedback and all.... could
be one guy pretending to represent them and he's not gotten caught
yet. I cannot tell you how many times people do this. Could be it's
legit, but find out for sure. Their prices seem low on that too?
There were two guys arrested on shows recently (or in the news; I am
not remembering if it was Cops or local news); one was for
impersonating a cop; he went into official facilites and stole
equipment from the cops! The other was a guy here who went on local
news to solicit funds for a kids charity and it was all a scam! Ebay
is even WORSE for this kind of crap. Hell, I was skeptical about the
Disney auctions till I got actual proof.

so there's my proof...please tell me how I'M the stupid
teenager...MORON.

why do any of you listen to barefoot? he is a liar and a thief.
psa/dna is imploding. word on the street is spence is leaving the
company. anyone that uses their service is just throwing money down
the toilet. barefoot throws there name around because he wants all of
you to think he is a big shot in the autograph scene and he has the
inside scoop. he is an immature liar that doesn't know squat. STOP
LISTENING TO HIM.

bassale

well, all i would say is this...it's nfl.com..they advertise nfl.com
during games-FOR THE NFL. funny to hear that psa dna is imploding and
spence is leaving the business though...funny how i offer proof and no
one else can actually show proof that i am wrong...i would think that
the facts speak for themselves...

honestly. i believe that GAI is a phony company that a few dealers in
the orange county area have made up so they can sell their stuff...it
seems that all the GAI people are the same people that i see working in
groups together at the sporting events and nothing more...i know one of
their "authenticators" and he has no business doing any authenticating.
he's a nice guy, but other than that, it's a joke that he's an
authenticator.
i know some guys that work for psa- but they've been doing it for
years...and while it's true that EVERYONE makes mistakes- i'm pretty
sure that you'll find over a 99% success rate.

dude...harold..are you a stupid reggie or what? it says right on major
league baseball's official website that they use deloitte and touche
for authentications...arthur anderson is mentioned NOWHERE...i actually
admitted my mistake in claiming the psa dna connection with mlb- but
last year during baseball season, they had psa all over their
auctions...but again, there is no arthur anderson over the stuff that i
looked at..
oh, by the way, i looked a GAI's website, and there are 2 autograph
authenticators who HAVE NO BUSINESS AUTHENTICATING ANYTHING. not to
mention autographs...i could rip them personally, but it would do no
good...it's hilarious that anyone gave either one of them a job in ANY
capacity.
quit calliung me ingnorant when i offer all kinds of proof to back up
my statements...i don't just make blanket statements so they can bite
me in the ass...so who's really retarded mr smith- it's probably a fake
name anyway.

last thing...
here's mlb's website for anyone else who cares...
http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp
please tell me where anything comes from anderson ANYWHERE...this is
baseball's official site...their autographs appear to be coming from
mounted memories...and the authenticatiing from deloitte and
touche...so if arthur anderson is claiming to be an mlb affiliate in
any way- he appears to be lying...
the autograph and game used items on this page are in the bottom right
hand corner, feel free to click on anything to find arthur anderson's
company...
and the last thing that i heard...most of maestronet's authenticating
comes from psa dna...please look at their site (mastronet.com) and
you'll see that everything in their catalog "comes with a loa from psa
dna" so please tell me how psa is imploding. the guys from psa came
from mastronet. knuckleheads.

Who's Pete Rose???
