Sure, that makes sense in that we all make our judgements about what we want to put our money into collecting and what we don't, i.e., what does it for us and what doesn't. My point was just that for those for whom autographs do it, the advent of grading by top experts is a godsend that assures a degree of reliability approaching certainty. The difference in the value of graded versus ungraded examples demonstrates conclusively where the market stands on the issue.
