Purchased this Willie Mays Catch autographed photo at a thrift shop.

I don’t think this GA which is Global Authentics has any relationship to GAI from the old days does it? GAI was ok with one guy for a bit but that was years ago. This GA outfit I have no clue about but this auto is questionable to say the least.

The GA website does say that particular # is associated with an 8x10 Willie Mays autographed photo. However, the sticker itself looks pretty unclear and maybe a reproduction of an original based on the photos on the link. A real sticker usually is crystal clear and sharp no matter the company.

That is a GAI sticker. What is interesting is GA dropped the white then I on their sticker. Not sure if they bought GAI or just have a very similar sticker but check GAI stickers (can look on ebay for examples) and that is one of them On the GA website it says

Please note that Global Authentics LLC is not the same company as Global Authentication Inc (a California Corporation) that went out of business in 2009. Global Authentics LLC is providing legacy GAI CertCheck data as a courtesy to GAI's customers but has no affiliation with GAI or globalauthentication.com. Weird that they are trying to be a copycat of a company with a dubious reputation with the sticker similarity
