Posted By: Rick GiddingsGAI is now in new building,and yes website is up!We were in southern california,and actually seen the new offices.We recovered a portion of our customers monies for lost items from UPS.And now want to thank Mike Baker,and Steve Rocchi,Kevin Hammond for there help in trying to make this bad situation a little better.We as a company now will weigh our options up on whether or not we will continue with GAI? We did get invited to meet with PSA,and let me tell you,what a facility,and amazed after the tour of vaulted doors!And was very impressed with the way this NASDAQ traded company does business,clearly the leader in graded cards in the industry! Anyway,questions about GLOBAL AUTHENTICATION,call 1-949-366-9500. PSA has a toll free # 1-800-325-1121 Happy holidays to all in the industry! GIZMO'S SPORTSCARDS/RICK GIDDINGS-1-815-645-8282

Posted By: Dan BrettaThank you for not typing in all caps. Good to hear that GAI is back in business...hopefully the way they handled their "move" will not devastate their business because competition is always good.

Posted By: dan mckeeYou may want to look into PSA's customer service. There are more important things than an impressive facility.

Posted By: Richard DwyerNe1 have the link where Dick Giddings was ripping GAI? I just got off the phone with GAI, and they want to see what he put up here about a month ago. They're well aware of his comments, and these comments will help them in deciding what to do with him. Beyond me how he can say all kinds of mean things about GAI, and then welcome them back. DICK GIDDINGS IS A JERK!!!

Posted By: Rick GiddingsFor your information MR.DWYER or whoever you are,you are nothing but a thorn in ones butt! I am very close to the guys from GAI,and if you were a submission center and went through the nightmare we did,you could then make an opinion,beings you are not,I feel you need to keep your flap shut!I actually was in there new office last monday,understand the problems they are going through,but have to make a concious decision on where and who we will do business with!And i'm actually a little upset with the fact,you made fun of the name DICK,cause that is my fathers name,and very disrespectful in the way you used my fathers name.My history in this business will far outreach anything you have ever done in your pathetic,consistent ripping of people and their opinions,and I will make my own decision on who we represent,and am not ashamed that I represented GAI for a long time!And yes,we stated our opinion on what was going on with GAI,and I really was trying to be informative to the public on their status as of last week when i was there?Think maybe Leon should take you off this forum,for you have no knowledge or common sense in this business! want to speak to me in person? here is my number----815-645-8282 Lets keep this board free from uninformed individuals,like yourself,who need a life! Again,good luck to all the major grading and authenticating businesses GAI,PSA,SGC,BECKETT,AND JSA! May santa claus drop a deuce in your stocking Dicky boy!

Posted By: Richard DwyerYou started the ranting a month ago. I only defended GAI when you viciously attacked GAI. GAI has been reading everything you said, and everything I said. You're the one who GAI doesn't like. You had no right to attack GAI, Jon Canfield, my postings, etc. Watch how many will come to my defense on this post. No one here gives a crap what you say here because you not only typed in all caps, but you disrespected founders of this forum.

Posted By: barrysloateI don't think Dan was being entirely sincere when he praised PSA's customer service. It's a long story. And "drop a deuce" as in "I have to take a #2".

Posted By: Rick GiddingsIf you are a founder of this board,then they need to get rid of you?That message was not a vicious attack,but merely an opinion,and just like the _ hole that you are!And to inform the public of what is going on?I think your just a habitual complainer,and have no knowledge on anything? BUT WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE---MERRY CHRISTMAS!SANTA WILL LEAVE YOU YOUR DUE!---OR DEUCE??? HA!HA!

Posted By: Dan BrettaRick is looking to be the third person in less than a week to be given a timeout. edited to add: actually I think Leon should let the guy keep digging his own grave. If Rick is the major bread winner in his family they may want to stop letting him on the internet because this can't be good for GIZMOS!!!!

Posted By: Richard DwyerRick Giddings. Like I said before: "Words are words. Goes in one ear and out the other". Amazing how someone who starts the thread saying GAI is open, continues to slam them. If you don't like GAI, then don't do business with them. Keep your comments to yourself, otherwise expect words you won't like. I never said I was a founder here. Jon Canfield is, and so are others that you disrespected here. Your posts in the past are catching up to you. If I was you, I would just drop it. I'm a nice guy and can forgive people easily.

Posted By: dstudebaI agree with you DAN,as far as the customer servce thing with PSA,they seem to have that down too! This is one of the funniest things I have read in a while. I agree with Dave that it would be best to slow down and learn a little bit about how this board works, and who the people are here. However I doubt that will happen, so I will just go get some popcorn.

Posted By: Rick GiddingsI merely singled you out for your ignorance,and why do you keep dropping this other guys name?And,you call names,then forgive?Your the one that was ripping on the name Dick?And your also the same guy with no real information for this board?Please stop your negativity,and maybe,somebody on this forum will understand your 3 year old ways?But,for the record,I did ask you to call,so we can get you that prozac you need?

Posted By: AnonymousGreat news that they're open, and we all appreciate you bringing us up to speed as to the status of Global's operations in your capacity as official/unofficial PR entity for their firm. We also sit with baited breath for your decision as to which company you choose to be the grader of choice for Gizmo's. Perhaps you can assume the role as spokesman for the CU empire having been given the example of your PR skills in dealing with the members on this board and the manner in which you aired your concerns and difficulties regarding Global's sudden absence from the face of the Earth.

Posted By: Paul Moss125? Tough call. If Mr. Giddings "works" the board and end up in full capitalization mode, it's an easy deuce. I mean 200. Like any odds maker, one has to take in the unknown factor, namely Leon with his finger on the lock button.
