The prices are certainly outrageuos when buying direct. I never buy from them direct, but I buy stuff from them off of ebay all the time at bargain prices. Last year I bought a Stan Musial UDA ball at auction with a bit of toning for about $30. I don't mind spending a bit more on something to ensure it's real.
As for the manufactured - cut up cards and such; they're garbage. Who'd rather have a piece of a signed check hacked up (usually badly) and arbitrarily inserted into a stupid 1/1 insert? I don't get that.
But, just for getting signed 8x10's or baseballs I think its a great way to go if you can find them for a cheap price on ebay or somewhere....
