Of course not! As long as you know your stuff, it's just as rewarding to collect autographs as anything else. If it's not your "cup of tea", so be it... But you shouldn't stop collecting just because some idiots out there are producing bogus items.
I would never let anyone or anything influence me to stop doing anything. Just a personal decision on my part.
