Posted By: Steve DawsonWell, I've seen enough! I believe it's time for this thread to get the padlock. Steve

Posted By: AnonymousWith all the lawyers on this board, I thought that one would have at least chipped in with the definition of Agency, and as to what that actually entails.

Posted By: Steve Clark"But GAI has a vintage card customer base, where Beckett is more post-war. So it could be a good match." If by "post-war" you actually meant "post-Gulf War", then I would agree with you.

Posted By: Jon CanfieldReading this thread makes a quote from the movie Billy Madison come to mind... "What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Posted By: Joe D.keep in mind.... Gizmo CAPSALOT came on here bashing GAI. His 'now part of the team' and insulting everyone around him - could very well be another bash tactic. Don't hold it against GAI one way or the other.... just hold it against gizmo. jmho.

Posted By: Steve MurrayAh, the frailties of old age. You are indeed correct. I do recall. I will keep an open mind and await the outcome. Thanks for the heads up.

Posted By: NickM1. Don't ever get him wet. 2. Keep him away from bright light. 3. And the most important thing, the one thing you must never forget: no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs . . . never, never feed him after midnight. OK, who broke #3?

Posted By: john/z28jd Al if it wasnt closed before Leons last response, whats happened worse since then? I cant believe this thread lasted even that long. Hopefully hes gone from the board before he can post again

Posted By: Tom NievesThe article below was posted on another forum. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Collectors, dealers await word on Global Authentication Customers of grading and authentication provider Global Authentication have been left to wonder about the companys status the past few days. Customers who called the California-based company to check on the status of their merchandise have received messages stating that the number has been disconnected. Globals website has also been down. Adding to the anxiety is the fact that at least one customer who stopped by the companys headquarters this week found an eviction notice posted on the front door. Bob Rund said he dropped off an estimated $8,000 worth of packs last week for grading. When I called on Monday to check on the status, the phones were disconnected. I went to check the website and that didnt work either, Rund said. When I drove to the office the next day, the doors were locked, the office was empty and the eviction notice was posted. There was no note about a new location or anything. In a story posted on Beckett.com Tuesday, Steve Sipe, Global VP of business development, was quoted as saying the company was still in business, but had closed temporarily due to relocation and was moving to another office area in the same business complex. However, Global had not contacted its customers to inform them that it would be moving or provide a new address. It has not issued any other public statements explaining their situation or provided contact information for their new location. Global president Steve Rocchi did not return a call to Trade Fax. Debbie Ochoa, manager of the office that oversees business licensing for the city of San Clemente, said she went to the Global offices Tuesday because she had received two complaints from customers worried about the status of their submissions. Ochoa said she saw no evidence that Global was occupying another office in the complex. Steve Coontz, an attorney representing the owner of the building where Global was leasing space, confirmed an eviction notice was served but would not comment on any other aspect of the case.

Posted By: Dave FGuys... I think the best thing anyone can do that personally knows the management at GAI direct them to this thread on the board....if this "gentleman" is a face along side their business they should at least at that point make a correct business decision.
