Old GAI is looking better than GA everyday.

CHRISTOPHER WALLACE: Your new to this site correct? I have documented a group that has been counterfiting Global, PSA, and JSA COA's and Holograms and selling the knock-offs on eBay for over 2 years now. Many of the items are live auctioned by this group and eventually end up back on eBay or in the market place being resold by middle-men or anyone trying to make a buck. That is why all three companies recently switched up there holograms and coa's. However the counterfit group have already found a way to duplicate the new PSA, GA, and JSA COA's. It's a shame but anyways the link to my previous blog is below. Not saying all of the items listed below are counterfit COA's and Holograms but more than likely 75% are. PSA is really getting killed by this group when it comes to Jerry Rice, Reggie White, Steve Mcnair, Sand Koufax, Nolan Ryan, Sidney Crosby, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, and Emmitt Smith stuff. JSA is Aaron Rodgers and RG3. GA is Kobe, Jordan and Lebron. This group seems to have an endless amount of eBay accounts. This group is killing the industry and the hobby.

Christopher we may be on to something. Take a look at these 100% forgeries coming out of California that I have been keeping track of. Same hand?:

My opinion is that it is a seperate forger. He's the guy that sends all the stuff to ace.
I've been busy getting some of them kicked off eBay that have made it to Australia. I can't do anything about the GA guy though.

I honestly think your California guy is a better forger but usually sticks to the photos he can print off for free rather then buying jerseys to forge.

Agreed. And I fear after we have exposed them they are looking to "up their game" with new tactics/material.

Guys love the input. I believe the forger is out of the westcoast and is also doing Bryce Harper, Aaron Rodgers and Mike Trout. I will be doing more posts in the next few days. This group is selling countless items of these people thru ebay and pristine auction house. I find a ton of it on their auction sales every time. Lets contact the auction house and let them know about all the bad items that are GA on their auction site every time. I contacted them about Lebron and they have done nothing. Maybe us as a community can get something done. Its come to my attention that its all their new cert holograms and cards. Every one is in the data base so they are not being duplicated.

Christopher, the "California Forgery Ring" I have noticed has endless supplies of: Kobe/Lebron/Howard/Rose/Trout/Kershaw/Jerry Rice/Mannings/Aaron Rodgers/Joe Montana, basically any popular athlete, and I've even seen them selling One Direction band autos, as well as Kim Kardashian forgeries. 

Here are links to some of my other findings that I believe are connected:

Yes the couterfit JSA, PSA, and Global (GA) COA's do appear in the database. You should really read the blog I started about this group that is why they are such a threat. This group will hunt the numbers down on the PSA, JSA, and GA online database and then make the Hologram and COA for that Certification Number accordingly. Because they can make the COA and Hologram they just need new COA #'s to continue producing. I am sure they spend a lot of time digging thru the online databases of the three companies. I purchased several cheap items being sold by this group which I returned for 100% refunds and the reason I gave up my fight was because the counterfit COA's were spot on for all three of the companies, any basic collector would be fooled. Christopher I hate to break it to you, but you should be targeting the people featured in the blog I linked in my last response not Global, JSA, or PSA.

There is a real potential that the counterfit COA group is based out of Los Angeles, Ohio, or the New Jersey/New York area because those are the states the items I purchased were shipped from, sad sad sad stuff. Ebay doesn't care, they have already been made aware of the situation almost every week for the last year. + the real problem is when eBay removes the counterfit COA items, they are relisted on another site. Honestly I think I have come across over 100 ebay accounts being used by this group. It has something to do eBay mobile, how they can have so many sites, because this group started when that started.

PSA has the hologram sticker for certain events. JSA has never changed it sticker or cert card. Please look at every picture I have attached and you will see the cert card in each picture with the number and a lot of these are certified at the same time. How is it possible to authenticate more Lebron jerseys than he has signed in probably 5 years. This ring is concentrating on MIke Trout, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tim Lincencum, Josh Hamilton, Bryce Harper, Kobe Bryant.They have endless amounts.
