Modern Gai authenticated autos...? slightly OT

[yanksfan09]

A couple of autos on Ebay that don't look good to me.... opinions? Let me state I don't call myself an expert, but I am familiar with some of these guys signatures and some of these seem quite off to me. These are just a few examples. There are Mariano Riveras, Mantles and more that I've seen lately. A lot of Yankees (that's what I look at the most).... They seem to be a large % of GAI authenticated autos of certain players that seem off to me...

I am not necessarily saying all these are fake(99.9% on those 3 anyway), but wanted to hear some opinions on these and on what you feel about GAI's auto authentication in general....

off is correct! I had a psa quick opinion on a Mantle auto last year and it came back "likely not genuine"

eBay endorses their stuff, and people are getting scammed. THey are total trash. stay away.

Yeah, that's what I thought. The sheer numbers of autos cert'd by them of some athletes is quite alarming. The market is flooded with these. I noticed it with Mariano Rivera, some Jeters, Mantle, A-Rod and I'm sure there's tons of others ( also have seen ugly GAI Lebron James). There must be so many people out there buying this stuff that think they're getting a reputable company and product. What a shame...

That Nolan Ryan card looks like it was done by a third grader I thought... I couldn't believe that one

and another thing, the photos taken of these GAI pieces. They are taken at really strange angles, 1/2 the time they are blurry and they are signed on items I have never seen before in my life.

That Ryan is plain ugly. He has such a consistent signature.

Definitely all bad
