Tim KinserlowPersonally, I would not trust any signature authenticated from either GAI or Gizmo, just based on their word. I have enough years/experience in autograph collecting that I can spot the bad stuff that their "experts" routinely miss. They have authenticated some legit autographs, but I have seen more than my fair share of forgeries residing with GAI authentication attached to them.
Honestly, I have seen so many bad GAI authenticated autograph pieces that it's sickening. Not sure if it was the great work of Gizmo, the former Justin Priddy, or another "expert" over there.
They are not really helping the hobby with their autograph authentication services. I wish they would just get an authenticator in there to get it right, or cease the services. I can't imagine how many uneducated collectors have been burned by buying some of those forgeries GAI has passed.
These are just my personal opinions and experiences.
