Looking to pic up some auto memrobilia, is GAI a reliable Certificate? I know UDA, Steiner, Mounted Memories, PSA/DNA are all good but who else is reliable, yet the item afordable.

Second question...what are some good players to pick up autos of fr cheap? I noticed schmidt, banks, and fisk were all bargain prices. Who Else?

    Hi Allen
    Are you interested in baseball HOF'ers?
    If you do an ebay search with just psa/dna - check out caposauctions - I picked up a Brooks Robinson psa/dna with sticker on the ball for 28 bucks, a Gary Carter for 18 bucks also with sticker on it, a George Kell for 18 bucks also with sticker and matching COA from psa/dna. I got an Harmon Killebrew for 30 bucks but the ball was slightly toned.
    Don't have my list handy since I'm renovating but there are others.

    BTW, the SMR on a KiKi Cuyler single signed ball is out of my price range but I recently picked up a multiple auto ball with his sig on it - psa/dna certified - I was extremely happy - this is probably the auto of the year for me!

    I am looking for BKB, FB, and BB. I have some signed balls. Mainly looking for some jerseys and 16x20s, you know- stuff that looks good on the wall.

    Then definitely do a psa/dna search on a regular basis - the flats go for good prices - a George Mikan litho auto/psa/dna went for 15 bucks! I paid over hundred for the same item!
    Good luck and happy hunting!
    BTW, I have picked up some cheap sigs from B&E on ebay also - most of their stuff is psa/dna certified.

    GAI/DNA autographs are a step below PSA/DNA obviously, but as long as the seller has a good reputation and you are comfortable with the signatures, I'd say go for it. I have a bunch in my collection, and have also been willing to buy GAI/DNA autographed lots with the intention of resale. You don't get as much for them as you do PSA/DNA, but you can get some real steals if you cost average right.
