Mike, if an auction house is certain of authenticity but can't get 1/3rd the price of the same Ruth baseballs as at at Mastro or Lelands, wouldn't they simply consign all their Ruth autographs to Mastro or Lelands and reap the huge profits?

If a seller knows she can get five times the $$ profit on a Ty Cobb baseball with a JSA or PSA/DNA LOA versus a LOA from Jersey City Auto Parts, why would she go with Jersey City Auto Parts as her autograph specialist? Is it because she likes to lose money?
