The Aaron Rodgers items are pretty crappily done, but, of course, GA doesn't hesitate in certing them.  Jordy Nelson isn't especially convincing either.

Notice you never see official NFL balls signed.  It's always the same white panel crap.

It is way beyond the point of Global Authentics employees "making a mistake"... there are eBay sellers who clearely have deals with GA to get any and everything "certed". I would be surprised if any of this junk was ever even at Global Authentics facility or in front of one of their "employees" IMHO.

$5,000+ in ONE MONTH. This guy has 3,000+ feedback... do the math. This is bigger than Operation Bullpen folks.

eBay seller big$papa$p sold this awful GA certified Peyton Manning "signed" jersey for $232...

Need another? No Problem! They sold ANOTHER hilarious Peyton Manning forgery for $180...

Want orange? No problem. This sold for $228.

Just flat out sickening. I do not understand how the FBI is not looking into the amount of blatant FRAUD that takes place on eBay. 

$395 for this Tom Brady jersey...

$305 for another Brady jersey...

Folks this is just a fraction of what this seller has sold in the past MONTH alone... Absolutely disgusting what these people get away with, with zero fear of getting in trouble.

still getting up to speed on things in the autograph world... obviously i know by now to stay far away from GA stuff, but i'm wondering: are they passing stuff because they're complicit in the forgery, either by hooking up a high-volume submitter sending in big bucks to them for fees, or are they really just that bad at authenticating? either way, how can they COA have any validity in the eyes of even the most newbie of buyer at this point?

I used to think they were just bad at authenticating.  I no longer think that's the case.

the Brady's are atrocious. they are all the same, and none of them resemble the Tri-Star signatures that are known authentic.

Steve Sipe and Global know exactly everything they certify in these bulk submissions are forgeries. That is 100% truth. The reason why they do that is the answer to most things in life...money. I would guess based just on the volume I see on ebay alone, Global is pocketing at least 2-3 millions a year. I've stopped counting the power sellers that Ebay allows to rip people of on the site, even after being reported. This is a blatant forgery ring and the fact that the FBI is not yet involved is disgusting!

There are no employees at Global who let some forgeries slip through, there is no ignorance on EBay's part. Global work VERY closely with the forgers!! Ebay was educated about Global LONG AGO, and continues to let their customers get ripped off just so they can...you guessed...make money! When a Global item is sold on their site, Ebay knows that member bought a forgery. Steve Sipe and every employee knows that member bought a forgery.

These Jordan jerseys all sold for $1,495.00 from ebay scammer framed_jerseys. He conceals his forgeries by framing them up and preying on native soccer moms. This seller alone has sold over 350 framed Jordan jerseys that were forgeries!! This a small sample!!

I am incredibly surprised Upper Deck does not go after these Jordan forgeries... perhaps they need to be notified.

From what I can tell, companies like Upper Deck, Steiner and MM don't care about their names being used with forgeries.
