In regards to 8x10s, This is sad to hear because my two biggest passions are baseball and photography so, signed 8x10s who be absolutely perfect for me (and bring me happiness collecting) however the resale value are Pennies on the dollar (often times final sales price doesn’t even cover the PSA authentication fees) and now reading that 8x10s are often forged, makes me not want to collect them. I guess if I flipped these two negatives around positively, my train of thought would be. 1. At least I can buy 8x10s super cheap (because they sell for do low on eBay) and 2. At least If the photos I buy have the blessing of PSA saying they are authentic, then people will always buy them because they have been “authenticated “ by a TPA already. What to do, what to do! Collecting use to be so simple until all these forgers and crooks infiltrated our hobby!
