That just made me laugh hysterically.
This is really crazy. I had lots of faith in the alpha bits authenticators, but now I don't know. To me, if I had the means to buy an expensive ball, I would study it carefully, vs many known examples, and make my own judgment. Yes, its GREAT to have an authenticator be it the Alphabet guys, or anyone else. Soem are better than others, but in the end, unless you were THERE WHEN BABE SIGNED IT. NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE> We all must take a "leap of faith" and IMO, our own minds and research may be less risky, than a company that authenticates so many sigs they kinda are blue in the face.
Its just an opinion, and this whole thing is making my head spin.
