And no, I have no idea what, if any of the vintage signed cards he still has.

Rich, as a side note, I believe I have one of your friends Books on the Kennedy assassination, as I love reading all about it. I would have to agree with his logic though, to get the cards signed at least. From my perspective, I think if I was collecting back then, I would've probably tried to own two copies of cards. One signed, and one unsigned. That way I can have the best of both worlds! As to your second point, one can only wonder.

To me it would destroy the "integrity" of the piece because it wasn't signed when it was actually used or worn in the game.

With the Game Worn items I would tend to agree, unless if the item in question was signed almost immediately after the game ended!
