Global Authentics is not reputable as they once were. I have found this online about it.Please beware of GAI authenticated stuff. GAI (Global Authentication Inc) went out of business in 2009. Prior to that it was said to be one of the big 5 in sports Authentication (along with PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett, and TRISTAR). GAI was actually founded by a founder of PSA that left that company. In the beginning of GAI's existence it was a very highly reputable company. It was actually harder to get a signature authenticated by GAI than PSA/DNA. Unfortunately along the way GAI made some bad financial decisions. It is then when an unscrupulous authenticator from GAI began authenticating garbage. Beware of GAI certs. Now the market is flooded with GAI certified stuff that is fraudulent and that MAY NOT cross authenticate to PSA/DNA or JSA.
