Do you mean her implants look to be about 28? She's easily in her 40's.

Like! Absolutely true!!

1. Does anyone think she's found Net54 yet?
2. If she has, do you think she's found this thread yet?
3. If she has, do you think she had the courage to read each post?
4. If she has read each post, do you think she has a sense of humor?
5. If she does have a sense of humor, that's great. But if she doesn't have a sense of humor, does anyone think she knows any martial arts?

Carry on...

Honestly, when I originally posted, it was with the anticipation that it would be seen. Just planting seeds

In all seriousness, it's one thing to comment on the woman's obvious good looks. However, let's not get too nasty... she is someone's wife, mother, daughter...

I agree. Crude comments about the lady may be one of the reasons the Board does not seem to have female members.

With all due respect, I don't think the crude comments are driving the ladies off. Its more likely the sports cards and memorabilia that do that...

Well said Eric.

+1 ...our comments haven't run any women off, guaranteed. There would have to be some here already, which there aren't. WE have had a few women on the board before, and they were usually pretty good sports about stuff. But ask yourself this, how many times in the last 2 yrs have I bought vintage memorabilia or pre-war cards from a woman that was running the business? (there are a few but the percentage is less than 1% from what I have seen)

[RichardSimon]

There are a number of well respected women in the autograph field but not in the sports autograph field.

I did a Google search for the forensic document examiner that is listed on the team page of GFA.

This is what I got:

"Your search - John Goraczyk forensic document examiner - did not match any documents."

A search for the other examiner Roger Fenton showed a number of listings for a man who was a photographer in the Crimean War. But no listing for the man listed on the GFA site, unless I missed it somehow.

[sycks22]

My favorite part of the website was listing that one guy testified in 127 court cases as a cop. I guess that helps him authenticate huge names like Willie Stargell.

From their website, Service Level III Extras:

"Ink analysis, Document analysis (when possible), Chain of custody of the item, background of when the item was signed (if possible). It will also include a Letter of Authenticity, describing the item, the signature, what type of ink was used, a biography of the signer, a photograph, and GFA’s full guarantee of authenticity"

I'd be curious to know what their "chain of custody" investigation entails? Is that just asking the submitter where they got it and making phone calls back up the line? Or does it only go as far as a line on the submission form of "where did you get this?" How far back do they go with that? May be another one of those things that experience will show, but it's got me curious.

If you can show you got it from a good dealer or auction house that is relevant info.

All this for $30??
Something is very different with this company but I cannot put my finger on it yet.
Forensic examiners that you cannot find on Google, investigators? for what purpose?, no ability to communicate with them, COA's showing up on a website with no ability to discern the COA number or no place to check it even if you could see the number.

Another "Forensic" authentication company. You gotta be kidding me!!!

When I first found them I was like "Holy crap!!!" Then I tried to contact them via their website, but to no avail. Then I tried to print out a "submission" form, but there's no option for that.

But yet their "authenticated" items show up on a particular auction site with blurry photographs ans serial numbers on the COAs that read "GFAA-####."

Wow!!!

I think they just misspelled the name on the web site - try again using John Gorajczyk.
