ChrisI have to wonder if the biggest problem is with the authenticators rather than the people who auction stuff. For autographs you get these large lot COA's and I just don't know how well they look at all these items. I know in the last Mastro auction they had a lot of autographs that included a signed Johnny Bench photo, only problem was it was the same photo Bench sent out to everyone who requested his auto in the mail in the 80's and it has a preprinted signature. Yet the authenticators said it was a legitimate autograph. To Mastro's credit, they pulled the Bench that day when I contacted them about it. I just think these people authenticating items should know these things
