Eric, I agree that providing an image of an item in use is a nice idea-- even if it only shows the type of bat or whatever, and not the actual one.

What these episodes show us is that collectors should be educated about the items they buy, and able able to make their own judgements of about the authenticity. Or they can seek out a second opinion when needed. If the educated collector, the auction house and the second opinion all agree on the authenticity, the collector is in good shape.
