The scan is a bit fuzzy, but this looks like it may be a trace job to me. The Ms look very slowly drawn.

It could be a one-off trace job. We'll have to see if more emerge in quantity.

 

There are some other issues wiht it, but on first glance, it is a cut above the typical GAI / AAU / Birdsack / Morales approved junk.

I was just looking at this.. The memorabilia market is going to have to come up with a new way to get into the 21st century and use the technology afforded to us now a days to combat fraud items.  I mean maybe all autographs have to be re certified and then someway to track the sigs that are known to be real from that point forward. Everyone must register the items when they get them so that we can track them from each person each step of the way.  I dont know something must be done though and we have the means to do it.

Track every autograph ever? LOL

What needs to be done, is the wannabe autograph collectors need to be more educated and quit giving these forgers money for JUNK. The only way the forgers will stop is if they aren't making any money.

Remember, Mike Baker was not an authenticator.  These would have been passed by Priddy, Rocchi, or possibly Rick Giddings ( a really trash mouthed fellow ).

 

Mike's name was put on the coa's for "legal" reasons. I assume that means because he was a co-owner of the company.

 

To me, it deepens the mystery of the last days of GAI.  Lots of crazy stuff went on there before Sipe came in.
