GAI gone (?)

[theuclakid]

Global Authentics (GA), the new company founded by Mike Baker in March 2010, is not GAI, and has (had) nothing to do with GAI....Global Authentics (GA) graded only packs and cards....the old GAI, if still in business, does memorabilia authenticating and autographs only (no grading of packs or cards)...I like Mike Baker, the hobby needs Mike Baker, as he has been one of the best, if not the best, graders...unfortunately too many forget how much he contributed to PSA from 1991-2001...good luck to you Mike!

I agree with that, but something went very amiss at GAI, and perhaps even earlier late in his tenure at PSA, during the era of "bumps" at shows.

I just wanted to say thank you guys for the help you gave! Eric Kramer has offered to slab the cards for this year, and every year after for free! (Verisleeve) School ends on June 16th, and he said he was going to expedite them so the children got them this year. I never told the children what happened. I was just hoping they would forget I promised them slabbed cards. After receiving the cards, my class is going to call Eric over the speakerphone and let him know how much they appreciate what he did for them.

Rich,

You are welcome, as a financial investor in a startup, I'm happy to use my power to help someone out, especially since its for the children.
