My feeling is that there are more different cards and memorabilia than a collector could every buy, and the collector is picking and chosing which items to purchase. If a collector has pressing questions or concerns about a card or pin or Joe DiMaggio bat, he can chose not to purchase. Even if I disagree with the opinion about authenticity, I recognize that the collector owns the veto over what enters his personal collection. I don't own a single Homoginized Bread card, and can't say my life is lacking because of it.

I always say that, whether or not he realizes it, the collector has the ultimate weapon in that he can always chose not to purchase.
