over the past few years I have bought and sold 5 Mel Ott Autographs. Trying to find one that fits with a 500 HR display. I agree that prices of High Quality Ott Signatures is strong. By high quality I mean nice single signed pictures and balls and of course signed Cards. But multiple signed items and cuts the price is weaker. Overall as 500 HR club member I think Ott will continue to have demand.
The biggest concern I have collecting signatures is authenticity. Clearly fraud keeps many novice collectors away from our hobby niche. And while I am not a fan of signed checks I do understand that many collectors like the warm fuzzy they get from them. So I agree with Scott (Not a big surprise I agree with Scott a lot) once the market absorbs these checks they should creep back up.
