This makes my stomach turn. Super Loser Burge...........

MinorLeagueSource · October 22, 2009 2:35AM

Burge has teamed up with Gai & is making a killing on fake auto's. He has all the top cards signed in Gai slabs & they arent even close to being real.

Gai

These are the ones that he just sold. He is ripping people off for a lot of money.

Sold

Gai should be shut down. There just as bad as Burge. There giving him a avenue to steal.

Best regards!

nothing new here but still disgusting...

His GAI certified Jay Bruce is a fake Jonny Gomes sig,

Here's what a real Jay Bruce auto looks like:

Does GAI certified authentic mean the card or the autograph?

MinorLeagueSource · October 22, 2009 3:52AM

They authenticate the auto's just like Jsa & Psa/Dna. The oly diff is they dont care about anything but $.

hammered · October 22, 2009 3:56AM

You can see a faint Jay Bruce sig under the large bold one. Whats up with that?

Edited to say I'd have no problem reporting this guy but there are many others that have far more extensive knowledge of what he does than I have.

But I'd suggest future threads on this guy are relatively pointless unless he's being reported.

BPorter26 · October 22, 2009 4:50AM

That's so wrong. GAI should go down as well.

The faint Jay Bruce sig is the facsimile sig that was printed on all 2005 Bowman and Bowman Draft cards.

Wow I can't believe Ebay doesn't revoke GAI's status as an recognized authenticator. If they revoked it you wouldn't be able to sell any of their sigs on the bay right?

If revoked, none of their items could be listed on EBAY.

The prohibited list contains some names that are likely
more reliable than GAI!

The "new company" seems to have squandered the little
opportunity they had to clean up the mess.

StanTheManMusial · October 22, 2009 5:56AM

Ebay has banned many of the other scab authenticators. GAI is just one of the sources where a fair share of the scammers turn to, when they know it won't authenticate with JSA or PSA/DNA, so they can dump the junk on Ebay.

WinPitcher · October 22, 2009 7:28AM

But but but Baker is the best grader in the business.

Or so i have been told.

vladguerrero · October 22, 2009 7:46AM

In all seriousness, it's sad that you have a better shot buying a raw real auto than a real auto certified by GAI, but Ebay see's it differently. I understand the security authenticated auto's provides to ebay and therefore their members but I think it's time to wake up...

MinorLeagueSource · October 22, 2009 7:49AM

I suggest calling ebay. Eventually they will have to react. If enough people call he will be gone.

Mickey71 · October 22, 2009 8:58AM

Almost all current PSA dealers at one time virtually worshiped Mike Baker. I'm serious. When it is all said and done, that is what worries me in the back of my mind. Baker was PSA's lead guy at one time. This doesn't bother anyone? Why are so many cracked out PSA cards returned as EOT? And yes, EBAY needs to get rid of GAI.

MinorLeagueSource · October 22, 2009 1:10PM

Report Burge to ebay thats all we can do. If all of us do he will be banned.

hammered · October 22, 2009 1:23PM

that will not work
If one ID is banned he will use one of his 10 others
If they all get banned, he will create new ones.

Someone needs to follow Storm's link and report him to IC3 or start fraud proceedings (which worked in the other case detailed on Net54) The law is the only thing that will make this guy go away.
Getting slapped on the wrist by Ebay won't do a thing

If there is someone who has close knowledge of his sale items past and present, and knowledge of fake autos, then they should take the lead

MinorLeagueSource · October 22, 2009 1:37PM

Report him here:

stopfraud@ebay.com

At least his current ids will be removed. Thats at a big start.

Allen · October 22, 2009 1:47PM

What do you think GAI charges him? Like $3 or $4 per card across the board?

MinorLeagueSource · October 22, 2009 2:36PM

Try this email:

eBay@safe-harbor.com

Evening,
Hate to say this, but we all know Burge is an Out and Out Crook. Some of us protect ourselves by not Buying Auto's and like Crap. We collect the cards.
Neil

What a concept !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

storm888 · October 22, 2009 2:53PM

Sometimes, I wonder if he is a FED; gathering evidence on the
bad guys that often seem to be his partners.

thedutymon · October 22, 2009 4:02PM

Storm,
Just a side note, The Awipe who paid me for the $1000 deal weekend before last, started the week with repeated: Where are my Cards? Every day, over and over.
Anyway, after finally getting the Confirmation on Tues, that the cards were sitting in Philly waiting for him to come to the Post Office for personal Signed Pickup, I e-mailed him the info and Lo and Behold, two days later I quit getting the nuisance e-Mails.
So anyway...Just a Thanks Again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Done deal and from what I could see in his actions, he was going to try a scam, but I Papered his A$$ with DC and Red Paper DC to the point he couldn't do anything. I Got it covered !!!!
Thanks for your help.

Neil

This makes my stomach turn. Super Loser Burge...........
