I'm not sure they are bidding high as these items command so little respect.
This will continue to happen until the Government recognizes that this is an issue. After all, we fish through the crap every month and we are no longer surprised by the large quantities of Babe Ruth's and Ty Cobb's or even Christy Mathewson's that we focus on the truly bizarre like...that person who obtained ship crew signatures and it just so happens, one of the ships became famous long after the fact and why not consign it to...Coach's Corner!
I thought the Bonnie and Clyde (which sold for $260, what did you say Ted on your page? If the price is too good to be true, it probably is?) was amusing, I can't wait for the next auction!
And they have sold complete 1919 Black Sox items in thhe past. They have no (that I know) sold any Button Gwinnett or William Shakespeare signatures, or any of the biblical figures like that elusive signer, John The Baptist.
THIS JOHN THE BAPTIST CAN BE SEEN FROM TWELVE FEET AWAY!
