It's so great that I can't even come up with a snarky comment that's funnier than the original post.

The first time I read it, I thought he was kidding. My initial reaction was, "Wow! I didn't know Bruce had a sense of humor." It took me all of 4 seconds to realize he was serious.

"I think Mike Baker of GAI has already given his answer. He says that the card was graded by the "old" GAI (of which he was President) and that company is now gone. He is now President of the "new" GAI and they hol;d no responsibility."

A familiar refrain if so.

Incidentally - the last post written in this thread was written by the "old" me.

I am the "new" me, and therefore take no responsibility for that other post. And anybody who feels I should still be responsible can go pound sand.

Jeff,

I was going off the post by ncinin up above.


I quote: "I emailed the current GAI and received this response:

"Hi


The card was graded by Global Authentication and was one of the three labels used by the company. The company is no lnoger in the business of grading cards. If you need anything else let me know.

Best,


Mike Baker
Global Authority"






It seems to me that we have heard this story somewhere before, just can't put my finger on it...

I really doubt we need to worry about this

And I have not laughed this hard since watching "Kill The Umpire". Thanks all!
