Douglas,

I'm sorry to say the Mantle is definitely fake. It's one we see here often. I'm not good at Williams, so I won't comment.

They are both forgeries.  Typical GAI certed garbage with Mike Baker's name on the cert.

As far as the old coa from GAI, Mike Baker was one of the owners, not the authenticator. The authenticator at that time was Justin Priddy.

Justin Priddy now operates ACE Authentication.

Brandon, you are correct, but Mike's name is on the majority of those certs.  It is, what it is.

Christopher, I agree 1000%, I just wanted to let it be known who the whole party was regarding how the certs were issued.
