i find it amusing that non-auto guys would go to this section to find their entertainment or belittle it w/o knowing jack about signatures.
i had the prewar cards bug for many years (still do), and there is a little learning curve with the cut and coloring and variations, but after awhile you can pretty much distinguish between a trim job or an oven-baked reprint from the gallery picture w/o even clicking into the ebay auction.
autographs is a whole different animal with all the nuances and characteristics and styles...we're talking about thousands upon thousands of different types that could take 2-3 lifetimes to study vs the limited amount of cards/sets. i appreciate and have much more respect for the guys over here than the endless is this real or psa suck sgc bad thread #125...the ironic part is without the tpa at least half the people on the main board wouldn't know how to buy while we'd be doing fine over here if alphabet companies are gone.
