I suppose getting them graded as "authentic" at least makes some people feel better but I have not really seen very many counterfeit tickets. The only one I really remember was a 1919 World Series ticket but it was so bad most anyone could tell. I have to laugh when people claim their PSA graded ticket is the only one in existance because the population report said it was the only one graded. As Scott said, most collectors do not grade them.

Agree with all of this.
