Roger Maris Forgeries "Authenticated" By Stephen Rocchi

Below are examples of Roger Maris forgeries "authenticated" by Stephen Rocchi and his Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) group.

Roger Maris passed away in 1985 and yet the below Florida sellers have all listed and sold freshly-penned "Roger Maris" autographed photos.

Of course, they are all penned by a dopey amateur forger and "authenticated" by either an incompetent or complicit group of authenticators called Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA).

These are always listed by the same below Ebay sellers:

Ebay seller Gofsu2010

Ebay seller Ranger191

Ebay seller Sportsstuff

Ebay seller Rbisportsinc

Ebay Seller Treat2014

Ebay seller Stevew5

As you can plainly see, the above Roger Maris forgeries are obvious and laughable.

And yet Stephen Rocchi and his Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators group claims they "Forensically examine" every autograph that is submitted to them.

That's laughable, too.

gee Chris, isn't it a coincidence that many of these sellers are from southern Florida?

Yes, what a coincidence.

The majority are from Florida.

Here is a screenshot of GFA's Services.

Click on the below image to get a closer view.

Does anyone really believe that anyone actually pays the below prices for authentication?

No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I would EVER send anything to them, but so their cheapest service is $100! There are in fact several celebrities whose autographs don't even command $100 in value. So if I want to get my Mark McGwire signed photo authenticated by GFA (Guaranteed Fake Autographs), it will cost $100?!

Isn't the minimum at PSA/DNA about $30 or so? And they're legit - for the most part.

Or maybe I should go with Level II. I get my $50 autograph authenticated with a letter that carries no weight in the hobby for only $175!

LAUGH OUT LOUD!

They must have a special group rate for certing known forgeries.

TI'm thinking the prices might be what they are so no one actually tries to send them anything.
