Trust in the hobby? you feeling ok Richard?
Seriously, through all these threads I have read, I have realized the only thing that is important to me is gaining an education, and th en buying from someone reputable. It seems too many mistakes are made by the TPA's. Plus, as several have said, you are paying for the Cert, NOT the signature, especially when you use the Alphabits guys.
Hey, they probably do get most right, but to pay a massive premium, when they make plenty of errors, and self education could be done, seems like a foolhardy move.
Education and study..could be used w many other hobby collectibles too, not just autographs.
