GAI has a "whoops"
Posted By: warshawlaw
The 10-11-02 SCD has a great expose on the fake 1963 Bazooka cards auctioned lately under the FGA grading service slabs by bassmaster. It's a must-read--way to go Bob!! About time we started seeing some investigative journalism. It only helps the hobby to expose its scummy underbelly. |

A problem with grading companies is that they grade way too many items. |

GAI has a "whoops"

Referring to the above paragraph three-- from what I have seen, PSA has an essential ignorance about printing techniques, and this has lead to some of their goofiest bluders (including Andy's Sporting New Ruth). In my opinion, identification and understand of printing is essential to authentication. I also beleive that some people at MastroNet lack a grasp of the subtlties of printing and photography which has lead to occasional (not common) labelling, description and dating of items in their auctions. |

I have two of the fake Bazookas and have been helping Bob Lemke gather information for his story (which I haven't seen yet out here in the remote wilderness of California). The fronts of the fake Bazookas are very good. The backs are a noticeably different color than the originals. I am no expert in Bazookas (I have only one real one) so I was fooled. (Fortunately, I paid only $5 each for mine). |

A couple of point's in Adam's synopsis are incorrect. GAI did not authenticate/grade five 1963 Bazooka Mantles; they did one Mantle and four other players. Also the fake Mantles sold on Shop at Home were sold ungraded. The Oct. 18 SCD, now in the mail, has a follow-up on the other types of cards faked in this scheme. |
