in the 50B case, you can get a PSA 8 for ~$25k which is a pop 48. or I can put that money towards one of his signed copies. it's a decision we all have to make, but if I'm going to collect his cards that's the version I want. if I also want to collect letters and other autographs then there's a treasure trove over there too, I just don't enjoy those as much as a card.

My view is a letter is more likely to be real. Tend to think 4 of those 8 cards are fakies.
