I found an unopened and sealed box recently from a manufacturer I've never heard of, The Genuine Article, Inc. The box says, "GA Dream Picks" and states, "Dream Picks features 4-card sets of 95, 96 and 97 football draft picks and includes three genuine autographs in every box....Guaranteed!"

I can find very little on the net. Anyone have info on this manufacturer?

Thanks!

GA only had a draft pick set made in 1997. The was 28 players that had contracts with them but no licensing. The Beckett and Tuff Stuff Annuals were of little help.

Genuine Article had "forged" signatures. They were busted when they had an error card of Roy Rodgers Jr. and signed Roy Rodgers Jr., but his name is Roy Rogers Jr. without the "d".

Wow. It's bad enough when you have to question individuals where autos are concerned but "companies??" That stinks.
