The funny this is that I picked up a copy of Standard Catalog Of Sports Memorabilia from Sports Collectors Digest at a used book sale a year ago and there is a section dedictaed to "Autograph Advice" and there is a page full of COA's of companies that distributed fake autographs or fake authenticating services (Hollywood Memories, Hollywood Don's (Don Steiger), S.C.A.A, J. DiMaggio etc.) and if you look back at old Coach's auctions (when Frangipani dominated), you saw these certs in the Coach auction. Also funny about this book, well respected autograph figure Ron Keurajian wrote articles, as he did with SCD but was eventually let go of his duties from the magazine because...too honest? Advertiser/s bugged by his breakdown? Lastly, let's look at the single signed baseball value portion of the book...King Kelly...price says UNKNOWN. Why do you suppose that is? Let's see what the value is of an Ed Delahanty cut signature in the price guide? It's outdated, but it says $10,000-20,000. What did the Delahanty cut in the Coach's Corner auction sell for? $290! You get the point.
