Default GAI files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

Posted By: DJ

Global was added to the approved list many years ago. In regards to autographs, they have had a rotating circle of authenticators and who knows who authenticated what at any time. This doesn't mean that eBay isn't afraid to take into consideration the opinions of others in regards to yanking "suspect" pieces. So you could have purchased a piece with a GAI cert a few years ago (that could or could not be good, but there was trust in hand) and you throw it up now, it could very well be pulled from the site as being fraudulent.

After all, Brill did a story a while back about athlete reps complaining about their client's signatures appearing with Global certs.

More importantly, when will SCD go under?
