They are just Curt Flooding the market with Dime store phoney's...STILL. It is about 500-1 these days....Brought to you by, E-bay and their approved 3rd party authenticator! thanks E-bay!

I totally agree those GAI certificates on Mantle on just a joke. I would never buy anything w/ a global cert. they are pure trash.

I agree that this show was a bit superficial. This all happened in my backyard and my buddy actually had a card shop in the same town as Bray. The dirty little secret is that a lot of collectors knew to stay away from him because he sold a lot of bad stuff, but I don't think they knew how much stuff he was turning out on the market.
