hankronI duly note that I'm only saying what I would do, and am not saying that others can't do differently.
My feeling is that, for autograph collectors, there are enough quality and well known sellers (including numerous on eBay) and enough items that come with good LOAs, that I don't see the point in wasting one's time worrying about autographs being offered by strangers who can't provide a good LOA or proof of where they got it. If your neighbor says she was a secretary for Frank Sinatra and comes with a box of seemingly legitimate documents and contracts and letters and tickets and photos including some documents apparently signed by Frank, that's certainly worth looking into--, but there are exceptions to every rule. And if you find a rule with out an exception, that proves me right.
