Quality Authentication / Bob Gryder?

Has anyone heard of this company? It is a new authentication company, started by a person named Bob Gryder. With my limited industry experience, I'm not really sure who that is. Does anyone have anything to say about them, good or bad? They're not allowed or disallowed by eBay, so I am curious if I should use them. It looks like they're based out of Arizona. Their website is www.qualityauthentication.com

Thanks!!

Hi Don, if you do a search for him upper right hand side of our screen you'll find a few posts on him. He used to work for/with Steve Sipe of GA/GAI.

Wasn't this person responsible for authenticating a lot of GAI autographs? I have heard from other collectors that he did a very poor job of discriminating between real and forgeries at GAI.

Why would anyone send in to this person? When you look at the homepage website, it even appears that some of the autographs that are scrolling across the top are fake.

I have never submitted to GAI or Quality Authentication but I think some more information is in order to help other collectors come to their own determination about this company / "authenticator".
