Can someone please give me there opinions on these ebay accounts. Hopefully I will get a response.

Those are all GA not GAI. Even some of the EBAYers selling the stuff got it wrong. Two different companies.

It is the same company.

GA is not GAI.

GAI went out of business in 2009.

Numerous sellers still use GAI in their title descriptions because that's the acronym they are used to reading and hearing.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Chris you must go out and obtain in person autographs. You know what you are talking about. Its great to have a fellow in person collector on here. I am lucky to get one of the stars on a college team as they are walked out by cops or go out a different exit at home games. I dont know how these guys get all the stars on the same item multiple times. I know college athletes are not allowed to accept money. I find all these accounts to be shady. Thanks for your input and good luck graphing

you will be surprised how many college athletes actually sign for cash, it is against NCAA rules but it happens more often than not. It is also fairly easy to obtain visiting teams at the hotels and while they are out on the town. Home teams are a tougher to get because of the state police usually being with them but still you can obtain signatures just far and few between for the home teams.

Roy I cant agree more seller mvp-authentics has all private Listings also has changed his user name 7 times in 2 year's. He show's 3 tickets to a Rangers Tigers Game and Managed to get Miguel Cabrera to sign 11 separate Items along with 2 Detroit Tigers Team Jersey's and several Justin Verlander's. Most people are happy getting 1 of the very tough Verlander. All I can say is WOW. He also managed to get Nolan Ryan on several things and all The Texas Rangers. By the way the 3 proof picture's are all from Different times. Jose Valverde is about 30 pounds heavier than there proof picture from years ago. As far as Dirty_Water_INK it is crazy how this guy can get all these autographs and still find time to list Ebay amazes me. He also has private feedback and gets Tom Brady Derek Jeter and every college football player known to man. He must do a lot of Private Signing's because he manage's to get the 2 to 3 best players to sign his stuff.

True a lot of college teams do sign. I happen to go a lot for west virginia and Geno Smith is very very tough but yet he is all over Ebay. Oregon Ducks have not left Oregon but for 2 games Arizona State and Washington State yet De'Anthony Thomas stuff is all over Ebay. I hear you there are a few that will take money im sure but lets be realistic.
