My favorite part of the testimony is when he admits to using Mark Allen Baker's "Baseball Hall Of Fame Handbook" (or named something like that), even though that book is full of fraudulent examples. Basically ALL of the pre-1900 examples, as if Dan Brouthers and Tim Keefe signed like infants.
So the forger provides him with "those famous signed cuts" that used THAT BOOK to create the examples and he matches it up and it's a go for a certificate? I have authentic exemplars of both, but a man whose job it is to know signatures doesn't? So anyone who has this book can be an authenticator?
