Is global authentics reliable?

I started collecting sports memorabilia & autographs probably 5-6 years ago now and haven’t added anything to the collection for a long while now, just started looking for new stuff recently. Most the time I’d prefer to get the autographs in person, the majority or what I have are from in person signings but I have a few from auctions that have COAs from GA. Now back 5-6 years ago say when I got those I look up the company and seen positive things about them which is why I bought the few I did, but as of recently as I’ve been trying to collect more I’ve seen some things saying stay away, now I know they’re better off than some random COA no ones heard of  like “johnnies authentics” but now I’m kinda worried. Should I probably just avoid them in the future? Most the time I look for PSA if I’m buying from anywhere but like I said when I bought these everything I heard about GA didn’t worry me.

at this moment i see more and more GA authenticated items re authenticated by company's like beckett and jsa and ask myself what to think about that?. but what do you autograph live members think?. at this time you can buy these items for low prices comparing with others with the same authentication.

Presumably in part because they're defaced by not one but two butt ugly stickers.
