I have said this before and taken a beating on it but I still stand behind it. If you know what you are doing and are careful, autograph collecting is safer than card collecting. With autographs if you stick with the top dealers/sellers or collect vintage signed album pages still in the books and checks or contracts you are going to be safe 99%++ of the time. You cant say any of that with cards. Trim jobs, restoration, Chemicals used to remove old glues on cards in album pages are so rampant that the top dealers sell this stuff without knowing it all day every day, especially high grade. It all comes down to being smart and educating yourself. Buying a cheap Mantle autograph on ebay is no differnet than buying a "grandaps attic" baseball card. Just my opinion but I have been in the autograph game for a long time now and problems basically dont exist in what I deal with and those people who buy and sell similar items as me.
