1) Yes it is bad
2) I don't think you can ever say that everything is bad that is certed by any company, but GFA is not thought of as one of the best to my knowledge. 3) Many in here refrain from posting specifics due to the fact that we don't want to educate the scammers that are likely reading this forum as well. In this auto the give away is the M's. they are just bad.

Okay, follow up question. What is the general reliability of authentications from The Score Board, Inc. signed by Ken Goldin? Is that the same Goldin that runs Goldin Auctions now?
Thoughts? |

GFA (Stephen Rocchi) was started in Sept. 2011.
I have yet to see an authentic Mantle, DiMaggio, Williams, Mays or Koufax with a COA from GFA. Rocchi charges $25.00 for his so-called "Forensic Examination." What the heck does forensics have to do with opining autographs!!! http://live.autographmagazine.com/fo...cchi-certified |

The only issue is that scammers over the last 5-7 years have used old Scoreboard certs (and copies and edited versions) to sell forgeries.
The majority of those who buy autographs, purchase the cert and not the autograph. http://live.autographmagazine.com/pr...age=1#comments |

Here's one more with a strange cert. It's numbered so maybe some have seen this one before? Looked on ebay and this photo is up for sale with many different frames and presentations, none numbered the same way this one is, but the kicker is there are several different COA's for this pic online. One stated it came from The Sports Board, Inc's inventory. This one is all over the place so definitely need the pros eyes on the sigs.
Thanks in advance, Chris Last edited by Jenx34; 08-11-2017 at 10:53 PM. Reason: added info |

Scoreboard has an interesting reputation. Since the fraudsters have gone to copying & switching out COAs, I've picked up good Scoreboard stuff up cheap.
Did the proliferation of phony Scoreboard COAs just occur (because of their strong reputation in the past) or was that going on while they were in business? Last edited by MrSeven; 08-12-2017 at 12:02 AM. |

Every one of those is bad and signed by the same hand.

If I remember correctly though they had a box of their certs stolen from a loading dock. While I trust them, I have unfortunately run across any number of fakes with their cert.
