If prices are very low the odds their autographs are real are even lower. As for GAA Authentication, I don't recall seeing even one autograph authenticated by them that I thought was real.

Here's their website: https://gaautograph.com/

I completely agree.  I have yet to see even one autograph that I thought was real.  Most were not even close.

i did see the website and did search for other comments on the internet and could not find anything wrong so wil thank you for opinions. i like to let you see this photo of michael j fox from back to the future and did compare it with other autographs i have in mine collection from dealers like ''toppix'' and company's like psa-dna'' and thought it is or real or very close.

Seriously?

I have never seen an authentic autograph accompanied with a COA from GAA.

ok, so i'am the first member who start a discussion about gaa? and they are not populair and scam artists?  how is it possible they can do this and go on with authenticating autographs?...i saw some autographs from which i'am sure they don't look right but the michael j fox could fool many collectors.

No, there was a thread with GAA last August. You can use the search engine here to check sellers. Why/How do they do this? Because delusional folks on eBay etc. will believe them and ignore the obvious.

Rob, there are hundreds of scam authenticating companies out there "getting away with it."

These days, GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators) is the largest one.

ok, this is not something i have knowledge of and mine main collecting is ''back to the future - robert de niro - and al pacino so that is why i started the discussion because i found the mj fox on ebay today. lately i did read on autograph live about psa-dna ''beckett'' jsa authenticated items and that also did not give me the best feeling...who can i trust when there are doubts about them?...

Well, for me. I do my own research continually and voraciously and I trust myself. I do not think it logical to believe any company with shareholders is going to place me and my collection first. I will not pay someone else to do the fun part of my hobby for me. That is just my way.
