Leon, delete it or lock it, but I literally missed posting this on the inane GAI thread by 30 seconds. |

Not to hi-jack Josh's thread, but that third to last post over on the GAI thread was very telling and should eliminate all speculation....not that I liked hearing it. |

I woke up this morning to see the GAI thread locked (thankfully), but just want to say that it does the board a terrible disservice to have such pointless shouting matches. |

Alan- The thread is there and locked, and you can read it, as I don't delete them(anymore)unless it's a very extraordinary circumstance or an operational issue..... |

The outlawing caps remark was of course tongue in cheek. |

the all caps thing. How do people even survive into adulthood (and presumably hold a job, etc.) while being incapable of realizing that writing in ALL CAPS all the time makes them look like morons, and certainly renders them less likely to convince anyone of anything? |

Nice post Joshua. I enjoyed reading it! I haven't done a fraction of what you have and now I feel like a lazy bum... May I live vicariously through you?

Joshua- I also enjoyed reading your post and got a little too caught up in the CAPITAL KID to respond to it. |

Jim thanks - I didn't even bother reading the last few posts after that thread got locked since I figured they were the reason Leon locked the thread. I'm reposting that text here in case anyone else made the same mistake and missed the critical information. BTW, anyone know what forum Tom got this from? |

At any rate...unless I missed something today, this should confirm to me anyway that GAI is in trouble. I think it was their statement put on the Beckett site that said they would be back up and website running in 24 hours...its still down 48 hours later...I wonder just how many dollars in cards they have in that "back room" that are being held without anybody returning calls or making any mention of what has happened? |

If it looks like a fish and smells like a fish, it's a fish. Being evicted means you don't have money to pay the rent. They're cooked. No Beckett, no move, just cooked. |

If things follow normal course and GAI files for bankruptcy it could take months for the trustee to sort out what belongs to which customers. |

I would also think that while cards in GAI's possession should legally be returned to their owners, any slabbing fees paid to GAI would be divided amongst the creditors. |

Odds are that anyone who paid GAI for services not rendered and whose cards are there will fall into two classifications of creditor: general unsecured for the slabbing fees and some other class for the cards. It will take a while to sort out. If it was my stuff, I'd make a police report now for the missing items claiming embezzlement by GAI since it seems (see the other thread) that GAI had employees selling stuff out the back door and would likely sue both GAI and its principals for conversion of my items. But that's just litigious me. |

Can GAI actually be done if they have not issued "last graded" of each card? Until this happens GAI will always be alive and well. |

I wouldn't be interested in representing GAI, I was more interested in Jon and Dan's idea of Leon and Net54 starting a grading company. |
