That is not the point though, the point is that a lot better than most of the time I feel they are correct in their opinion. It's not because I am some rube that doesn't know one signature from another. I feel many of this board jump on that wagon because they have a problem that they are making good money giving their opinion. Nothing more, an opinion.

This is the part where others jump in and call Zipper and I followers and how they got this or that wrong and that we must not know what we are talking about and have to blindly rely on the opinion of some 18 year old kid to tell us our autographs are good.
Where did anyone call you and Steve "followers"? All I did was note that with your 'band wagon' comment, you appear to be trying to stifle people who ask questions about slabbed autographs. I think that's a bad idea - some people have legitimate questions, and while it might be obvious to you or Steve that a Ted Williams autograph is good, it might not be so obvious to a less-experienced collector. I think you should just answer their question, but of course that's up to you.
