My thinking exactly.
If we were in the market for a rare painting, before making a purchase, we would look to verify authenticity, would we not? Well, a '52 Mantle may not be a Picasso, or a Degas, but it is a high value item, one that has been circling this Earth for some 60 years. And absence of the provenance that might certify authenticity, and chain of ownership, when making that purchase, anybody with at least an average number of brain cells should at the bare minimum investigate who it is they're buying from.
