warshawlawI decided a long time ago not to collect memorabilia for precisely the reasons outlined above. Too many questions and too many shady possibilities. I collect cards and autographed cards only when they come from the source to me directly or after I have studied the signatures of the autographs' creators and am comfortable that they are real or have items that are unlikely to be forged (e.g., old bank checks).
In short, I understand and appreciate your perspective, but none of my doggies are in that fight.
