GLOBAL BACK IN THE MIX
Posted by Chris

baseball cards mag.JPGCheck out this copy of the first Baseball Cards Magazine that I found on eBay. $17,500?? For a Wagner??! Wow... Wish I would have bought a couple of those back in '81. Oooo! And a Mantle rookie for $1,100? Those were the days.

***********************

Well, it was an odd way to deal with the entire situation the Global Authentication was having, but today on Beckett.com there was an article stating that Global Authentication is once again operational and its phones will work tomorrow.
Here are quotes from Global’s head man Steve Rocchi from Beckett.com:

"I expected some reaction when this happened, but I never expected the firestorm of emotion that I saw," on Internet message boards, blogs and Websites, said Rocchi.

He also said that he had a lot to say, but didn't have any time to communicate it. He said he didn't want to make a comment until he had some solutions as to where the company would be.

What an odd thing to say … People trusted GAI with thousands of dollars in cards and memorabilia and they were left looking for answers for nearly an entire week when its website, phones and office were all not operational. He was surprised with the reaction? I wasn’t surprised at all… Nobody knew what was going on and I think those people had every right to be worried.
His other comment that he didn’t have any time to communicate what he had to say is also puzzling. All he would have had to do is call Sports Collectors Digest, or make a couple postings on hobby message boards and he would have been able to communicate whatever he had to in minutes.
