Maybe 3 years ago I posted that I will never collect high end autographs because I believe they are way too easy to fake, and that some TPG waving a magic decoder ring over it for 2 minutes doesn't mean bupkiss to me. I have been involved in court proceedings where some of the nation's leading forensic experts have debated whether a signature on a legal document signed 20 years ago was genuine or a fraud. The idea that the market is not flooded with fake Ruth and Gehrigs and many others is impossible for me to imagine. We saw some of it recently with Mathewson signatures. It just isn't that hard folks.
