Global Authentication

[JoeyStorm]

Anyone know if this company is reputable in authenticating autographs?

I want to purchase a piece on ebay but it is authenticated by Global. Are they "better" than PSA?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

The only thing I know GAI for is grading wax packs and boxes - I don't know how good they are for autos

I believe they were founded by a couple of former PSA employees. They are a legit company but I don't think I would put them near PSA in terms of my confidence on authentication.

Even the "Grading Gods" aka Beckett recognize PSA....

GAI was known for their wax grading/authenticating but not much more.

Wasn't PSA Sued or something a few years ago???

I think that was JSA, whom I believe PSA has acquired since then.

Alright thanks for the input.

just to set the record straight, PSA has not acquired JSA.
