Dan - I certainly don't think he is a troll; just someone voicing his opinion which is fine to do. After all, he did post his name, too.

Gee, I watched TV when 2 of James Spence's "authenticators" looked stupid calling a fake auto real. Everyone still thinks spence is ok. As far as I'm concerned none of these guys give a positive id to any of this stuff. Only an opinion. You know what. I can do that to. It's all bologna. Theres tons of stuff out there that has been called good by all of them that is probably fake. The whole thing is a joke. So who is to say with certainty that one is good and one is bad. NO ONE>

Any other opinions? The item I'm interested in is kind of expensive, and I don't want to waste the cash if this person's opinions are unlikely to be agreed upon w/ either JSA or PSA/DNA.

Why not post the item here and let us "EXPERTS" render our opinions? Everyone has an opinion and at least these are free.

Shelly Jaffe has certainly done a lot of good for the hobby in the past years.
I agree with most of his autograph opinions.
I do not agree with many of the autograph opinions I have seen of Mr Garo.

[David Atkatz]

I have never seen anything "authenticated" by Garo that wasn't manifestly bad.

His opinion is not respected at all (and rightly so), and thus his authentication will neither protect you, nor help with a future re-sale.

Mr. Akatz:

You're entitled to your opinions but they are not only unfair but very inaccurate.
