Hell, I collect signed cards of other grown men, sweaty old jerseys, baseballs (that are manufactured to be played with, yet I get them defaced by collecting a signature on them), old pennings by politicians and other assorted knick knacks, and therefore don't feel I'm in a position to judge what someone else collects.

Mike - if this site were free of criticism of other folks collecting habits, and members were not judging those asses, then it would lose 60% of its posts  . And I have examples of non authentic autographs on these cards, so the card companies are not totally blameless.
