I recently purchased a baseball with autographs by Mantle and Mays as a gift for my girlfriends son. Apparently he's not such a fan because he listed it right up on Ebay. His Ad got mentioned on this site that it is fake. I see that this site trashes GFA (its grading), but I have compared it to a couple PSA balls and it looks like the exact same autograph to me. Also, the buyer had a rating of over 3000 without a single bad review. How does this this guy that posts know its a fake or does he just automatically assume that GFA is fake. 

The seller will take the return but insists it is real. If it's real I would prefer to keep it

that is a classic well know and well documented "banana M" style forgery.  GFA is a joke.  

100% forgery.  GFA is not a legitimate authenticator, just a shill set up to sell fakes.  Comparing these to legitimate signatures, whether PSA or not, are night and day.

Crap set of forgeries!!!   I have yet to observe one authentic autograph with a COA from that sham authenticator Stephen Rocchi and GFA.

GFA is one of two things:  A scam or total incompetence!!!

Freaking crap p***** me off!!!

As a matter of fact, I just posted that crap here a few days ago.

I never "assume" anything; It's only about the autograph(s).

If you "compared it to a couple of PSA certed baseballs and it looks exactly the same," then you simply do not know autographs.

Forgeries are meant to have the appearance of looking authentic to those who do not know autographs.  

That's why the forgery business is huge on Ebay.

Looks like Ebay seller Mommymuppet, just lowered the "Buy It Now" price from  $639.00 to $400.00.  I guess they have no intention of pulling these train-wreck forgeries.

By the way, GFA doesn't "grade," they "sham authenticate."
