Because it's not the companies fault they get it wrong it's the "former employees". Steve Spe allows it to happen as long as he is lining his pockets and when he gets called out he blames his "employees". His list of "authenticators" lists him as the sports "expert" and no one else so it leaves it to me to believe he is stickering all the stuff. If anyone has time take a look at the horrible celebrity stuff they have been putting stickers on lately, NONE of it is good.
Here is my experience, I had two items that were GA authenticated and I had a buyer who was interested in one of them I had for sale until he saw the GA sticker and decided he was no longer interested due to that. I removed the sticker and threw away the cert and was able to sell the item immediately.
My second item I had listed on Ebay and had to drop the price (though already listed at a discount) every week till I finally found someone to buy it at half of what I paid for it. No more GA stuff for me !
