Changing the subject slightly
I remember in the late 1980's or early 90's when a hobby "hanger-on" came into the shop I was managing at that time and talked about his concept about authenticating the autograph immediately after it was signed at a card show. His idea was to have the table next to the player as he was signing and then authenticate that the signature was signed at the show,.....
Remember this is 1988-89-90 and we at that time all thought that idea was ludicrous, remember how many shows there were and how many players signed (and not all were superstars by any means). Well flash forward 20 years and the concept of having your show signed autograph authenticated on the spot is a normal course of doing business now.
So, without making any comments on this man's business, which I did not study, I will say that many times ideas which sound silly to us today are commonplace tomorrow.
