Ebay seller 2011JimmyK just re-listed his Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio forgeries with a COA from GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators).

GFA should change their name to Guaranteed Fornicated Authenticators.

You'll have to ask Steve Rocchi, Chris. Are you friends with him here? If not, you can't private message him, so post a comment on his profile asking him to respond.

Years ago, before Global got into autographs, I thought Steve Rocchi was one of the good guys. But I was wrong. GFA is even worse than Global Authentics. Their authentication is as bad as Christopher Morales's, Don Frangipani's and AAU/Drew Max's.

Yep, Rocchi is on par with Chris Morales,  Ted Taylor, Frangi, Priddy and Drew Max.

He must be real proud of himself.

But then again, Rocchi took over for Morales, Taylor and Max after AlwaysAtAuction.com changed their name to AtAuction.com.

Same forgeries, same source.

Geez, I wonder if Rocchi charges $100.00 per autograph to cert for AtAuction.com and John House.

Of course, the forgeries sold over at AtAuction.com all sell for well under $100.00.

All of those Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams sigs that they AtAuction.com are still hauling in from the six tractor-trailer rigs......

Proud of yourself, Rocchi?

There is a FAQ on the GFA website and one of the questions is "How can third party authentication companies authenticate so many different autographs?

The answer from GFA is:

"To properly authenticate a signature you must have numerous exemplars to do side by side comparisons. That is why at GFA we only authenticate a limited number of autographs and have experts specialized in these signatures."

Talk about a bad joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course you did.........not.

This GFA crap is getting old. They put these nasty set of forgeries in a nice looking custom frame to sell it. Rocchi is a crook, he is in the same boat as Greg Marino. Rocchi is a joke, and needs to be reprimanded for his actions
