Nonetheless, being a novice when it comes to autographs I didn't feel secure or well educated enough to pull the trigger myself. Nor are my pockets deep enough to take chances. I have a little over 100 autographs in my small collection. I would say that 95% have been picked up in person. For this guppy the piece in question represented a leap into the deep end of the ocean.

I fully agree. By definition I am not an autograph guy. After almost 30 years of collecting and selling sports memorabilia, I usually go with my gut on autographs. I also usually don't reach or spend too much on autograph items. My criteria on something like this is "would I be happy looking at it on my own wall". I definitely would have been happy owning this particular piece.
