And to think I had any doubts about Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig/Ty Cobb signed memorabilia and any other game-used bats or equipment. By the way, is there now going to be a supplement (or disclaimer) to the Mastro game-used bat price guide? Well, at least if I obtain three experts’ opinions regarding a Bob Feller signed baseball, I’ll still feel pretty secure about its authenticity.

Just what does the word "provenance" mean anyhow?

a) An educated guess
b) The best guess possible given auction deadlines
c) A gut feeling
d) A genuine good-will feeling of trust toward consignors of expensive or lucrative memorabilia
e) Good old fashioned luck
f) "Hey, it looks good from where I’m sitting!"
g) None of the above
h) All of the above
