I think it's great that people enjoy collecting things, but I've never understood collecting high-end autographs. It seems that, unless there is bullet-proof provenance, there's always a debate as to whether it's real.
At least with midrange cards, there usually is never any lingering question as to whether the thing is real. Altered, perhaps, but genuineness isn't too difficult to ascertain. With autographs, the best you usually get is some consensus opinion, where maybe 90% of people are, on average, 80% confident it's real.
But nobody really knows for sure.
