as a former global authentics llc employee, i can tell the general public inside information never reveal before until now. all the aurthenticated autographs certified by GA were forged with an exception of a few. if the autograph in question ever come to question by another expert or experts. GA will generally tesify in court that it's one man's opinion and release from all liability. Because GA can always create another piece and slab a sticker on it and say it's authentic. I lost count how many times I look the other way when a known autograph forger come to the office and lay $5000 on the table to authenticated all his s***. It's the norm. I can say without a doubt it is happen at JSA and PSA/DNA as well. Avoid buying from these dealers:

I am a retired bank examiner who specialized in fraud and forgery detection. After 31 years of experience detecting forgeries, I have never been able to refute one of their decisions-
I have agreed with every one of them I have reviewed. I have full confidence and am very comfortable relying on their verifications of authenticities.

I am the owner of the business that Doug claims to have worked for and can tell you that in the 9 years that we have been in business I have never employed a person named Doug. The dealers that "Doug" has listed are all using many companies for their authentication needs and all one would need to do is look at their listings on eBay/Amazon to see that the items are all authentic. To say that ALL of any one companies items are not authentic is seriously jaded and not factual in nature.
Global Authentics LLC has an outstanding rating with The Better Business Bureau and if this person named "Doug" would like to contact me anytime I can be reached at 949 366-9500.

This might be a little easier to take seriously if it weren't filled with misspelled words and the sentence structure weren't horrible.
