T206 scandal
I guess many are good forgeries but side by side, look at Rube Marquard vs. t206 Marquard that actually wraps at a right angle, that one was NOT GOOD even by my untrained eye.
My whole purpose is that everyone that spends real money on autographs should do their own research prior to purchasing such an expensive item, most baseball HOFers have exemplars on items that are available for comparison with a computer...
as for TPG services, we do need referees/experts etc but its time they take some responsibility, example: The Rocky Marciano signed docmentation/letters, many with a particular TPG certification, well those letters are on a stationery of a "magazine" that has no history of existence anywhere that I can locate and I have been in hobby since 1975. Where are those now?, they are still out there and were not bought back even after there was a large discussion about these!
