Global Authentication

[Archive]

Posted By: Phil Garry

I just wanted to let everyone know that I recently made a couple of submissions to Global Authentication since their re-opening for business, including a larger-size pinback. From the customer service standpoint, Brennan Ault was able to expedite the grading process for me and Mike Baker was able to answer my questions effectively from a grading standpoint. Turnaround times were right on target in both cases.

Phil- That's great but based on all that has happened in the last 6 months, I think they are going to have to offer some real submission deals or many of us who have switched full-time to SGC won't be switching back.

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead.
[a man puts a body on the cart]
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

Rick,

You haven't heard of Monty Python?

Rick M,

You need to get out more. Go to a Broadway show. I suggest Spamalot. If not, at least rent a movie from Blockbuster or Netflix. I suggest Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Sorry guys! I'm surrounded by snow drifts in Wisconsin and my brain is addled from the cold.

I used to watch Monty Python many years ago, but I don't remember all of the quotes except for my favorite song-

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK.

One of my best friends just changed jobs and moved from Houston to Green Bay. He's doing OK. Sounds like his wife may not thaw out until July.

Seriously, if you ever have the chance, go see Spamalot. Funniest play I have ever seen.

I will check it out. Maybe on my way to the Spam museum in Minnesota.

I don't have much to add to the Morales thread and I would love to make some comments on Bruce's most recent thread but have already insulted him in another post yesterday. So thought I would let everyone know that I decided to give GAI another shot and they came through perfectly. Cards were graded properly and timely. After some conversations with Mike I got the feeling they are more focused under the new management. Mike has certainly not lost one bit of his enthusiasm for what he does.
