Does anybody know if worldofautographs.com is a credible autograph dealer?

Looking through most of the auction they currently have up on ebay, although a bit overpriced, I couldn't spot any obvious fakes.
One thing that strikes me as odd though is that all of the autographs are GAI certified. Certifying all of your autographs is expensive and most reputable dealers don't do this. Which makes me think they maybe have someone working for them at GAI? Just a thought.
And on a side note. They are a UACC regular member, not a UACC registered dealer. This doesn't really say anything about the stock they sell, but some people confuse the two, and think if it's UACC then it's ok.

I've just gone through their site and some of their stock is from AutographWorld, albeit listed at a much higher price (something I hate other dealers do). I've compared some items against my IP collection and the ones listed do match up.

Steiner Sports is an autograph company as well, dedicated primarily to sports (mainly baseball). They are 100% authentic. They have contracts with players to sign many different sorts of items, but they usually charge plenty for them.

Yes, I know that Steiner is a company. But what makes their logo on Worldofautographs website?

I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean by "what makes their logo"?

If you look through their listed sports items, they have autographed items authenticated by Steiner Sports. As I've mentioned earlier, dealers tend to buy merchandise from other dealers (i.e. Steiner) and sell them on their own websites. If you were looking for an autographed baseball or something, I would suggest it easier and safer to go on the Steiner website as they have the items there as well as an internal auction which sell them for less (sometimes however those items are slighty damaged).
