DavidI want to note that I'm not a fuddy duddy (I'm not that old yet), and think that the Topps and Fleers of the world issuing autographed cards is a good idea. Some of the cards are neat looking and it is a good way for a normal person to safely buy autographs. For my old newsletter, I once asked James Spence what he thought of the cards authenticity wise. He said that he saw a few problems, but most looked legitimate to him. If I bought a pack and pulled a Willie Mays or Johnny Unitas autograph I would be as tickled pink as the next person ... I just thought that price difference between the Greenberg 'authorized' matted index card and a normal Greenberg index card you could matt and frame yourself (with a picture too!) was striking.
