Another GAI disgrace. How are these guys listed as a preferred ebay authenticator

As some of you may or may not know, I use to do authenticating for GAI many many many moons ago.  My area of expertise was football signatures.  It seems like daily I see crap from GAI on ebay.  Here is a Joe Montana (AUTOPEN) they authenticated as genuine.  

Before Baker and Priddy, GAI was a great company.  That of course was before they gave rubber stamps to their authenticators.

They (GAI) went out of business in 2009 Charles. GA is not the same company and yes you are correct about the autopen Montana, good call.

Steve I know GAI went out of business.  I use to do authentication for them back in their hay day.  I am an expert on NFL autographs, although I am fairly weak in other sports.   

Steve, If I could say one thing to you it would be to stop certed everything.  Man, I see so much bad stuff with a GLOBAL AUTHENTICATION COA.  There is no way in hell you guys could possibly believe this stuff is real.  Please stop rubber stamping this stuff.  If you don't than you are no better than Mike Baker and Justin Priddy.
